We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

God wants to be your best friend

When I don’t love you enough

When I don't love you enough, family, I will take my work home with me, and spend almost all my time on it, instead of enjoying time with you.

When I don't love you enough, God, I will act like you want me to when I'm at church, but act like I want to the rest of the time.

When I don't love you enough, children, I will let my husband sexually or physically assault you, and pretend it didn't happen.

When I don't love you enough, wife, I will let my eyes and mind wander to other women, and not keep the vow I made before you, God, and others, to cherish you and forsake all others.

When I don't love you enough, God, I will pollute my eyes and mind with the interests and fantasies of this world, leaving it in such a useless state for You, that I am the flavorless salt and noisy gong you spoke about.

When I don't love you enough, fellow citizen, I will rule over you as your government leader, instead of representing you and your needs – and protecting you as God would have me do.

When I don't love you enough, future husband, I will give my body and affections to many others before you come along, hoping that one of them will be you – but knowing none of them are – because I've lowered my standards for them out of desperation.

When I don't love you enough, future wife, I won't follow God's guidance to restrain myself and treat each woman I meet as a sister and friend, preserving each one as a gift to their husband, until God presents you to me.

When I don't love myself enough, I will dislike those I encounter who are like me – even my own family. 

God, please teach me to love all that you have made, to set myself aside, and to love as you do!  I know you promise that Life will be much better if I do as you say.
