Our relationship with God is as a parent
and child. When a child is being obedient, it is a demonstration or act of love
for you, the parent. It is the completion of the circle of love. God, our
father starts the circle by all his creation given to us, by creating rules to
live by and by rewarding and punishing for following or not following his commands.
The circle comes around through Jesus who is the greatest example of love and
who is the greatest gift of love given to us by God. The Holy Spirit within us
guides us onward towards completing the circle. In completing the circle and
keeping Gods commands, we are showing God our love for him. All the family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and even strangers are inside this circle of love being loved by God and you. It all comes down
to love. Every command has its foundation on love. How do we live our lives
more and more with love pouring out of us? Commit yourself to reading a
scripture about love every day. There are hundreds to choose from. Just go to
the concordance of your bible and start with the first one listed. Keep love on
your minds and hearts through His Word and you will find yourself completing
the circle of love.
1John
5: 3-4 This is love for
God: to obey his commands and his commands are not burdensome, for everyone
born of God overcomes the world.
