I love God.
But I can't love God.
i love google; the cloud is great, especially with all our mobile devices and multiple computers. the search experience is unquestionable unparalleled.
i love my family, dad, mom, brother, they're not perfect, but they're mine.
i love my toaster; it cooks the morning bagels so quickly, and while i'm off doing something else.
I can't Love God.
I can't just appreciate a value of God, or enjoy the arbitrary usefulness of God, or just go around saying that “His Grace is sufficient” and “His Power is eternal”. I can't just tell you that Jesus Loves me, and He always has and He always will.
I can't, because i love google.
You're told in Sunday School that Jesus loves all of You and you and everybody. You're told that God lives in Your Heart, and that when You die, You'll live with Him forever.
But God can't Live in your heart, because your heart only has room for blood and muscle tissue. Jesus can't love you, because the same dad that abuses you, buys you something the next day to say “sorry” and that he “loves you”.
the only reason that God Loves you, is because there's no other thing He can do in english. some people in the software business would tell you that “free beer” is nothing like “free speech”. Jesus only Loves you because “love” is the best we've got.
I try to Love God, but it's too easy just to love Him, appreciate some aspects, and wear your gold cross necklace everywhere, showing off your “jesus”, and sneering at those who don't have one. I have a cross necklace-it helps remind me sometimes of what He went through because He Loves me. sometimes I catch myself sneering, but I Pray that I won't.
I try to Love God, but it's so easy for me to forget.
I think the biggest reason that I Love God is that He Loves me. my family loves me, but still gets angry sometimes when i do something stupid, but God Loves me. how? what is “Love” that during my worst and during my best, even when i spend His money on hookers and booze, and sleep with the pigs the next day, He still loves me. beyond how, why?
I Love God.
If only for the fact that He CAN Love me, He deserves My All and all.
