“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with
all your soul, and with all your strength." - Deuteronomy 6:5
Day before yesterday I
was travelling in a bus returning back to my place. It was a long journey of
nearly 400Kms. As I was travelling during the day time I felt so tired. On the
way bus reached a city which is popular for a particular temple. From that
place I have to travel more than 100Kms and even in bus I felt it was a very
long journey.
Yesterday as I was
going to my work place, I found a large group of people getting ready to go to
that particular temple city as foot pilgrimages. I could not believe that at
all. The distance from my workplace to that temple city was 125Kms. I could not
sit in the bus itself for that much distance. But these people were walking to
that city just to worship an idol.
When I returned from
my work place at that night, I could see hundreds of people walking in the side
of the road with so much happiness to that city. I do not know how many days it
will take them to travel by feet to that city. But they were so happy about
what they are doing.
To worship an idol
they are walking several kilometres with so much joy and happiness. Our God is
a living God who never asks us to walk such distance to worship Him.
All He asks us to do
is to love Him with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. Do we love our God
with all our heart? Do we go to church with so much of happiness or do we go to
church just for the sake of going?
Your love upon God
should be far greater than those who love an idol. Do we love our God more than
the way they do?
You are worshipping a
living God. Today Jesus Christ wants you to love Him truly with all your heart.
He wants you to do His will alone in your life. He wants you to glorify Him through
your life. He wants you to set aside everything and come to Him leaving all the
worldly pleasures.
Jesus Christ said in John 14:23, “...If anyone loves Me, he will keep My
word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home
with him.”
If you say that you love
God, you have to keep His word. You should do what He asks you to do. You
should give your life into His hands.
My dear young friends,
love God with all your heart. If you do so, He will come to you and He will
bless you abundantly. Surrender your life to Him completely. Jesus Christ will
do mighty things through your life.
