Love God with everything you have -
-by obeying His commandments.
-by loving your fellow man.
-by worshipping only Him (not money, not American Idol, or the such)
-by speaking with Him regularly on a daily basis (He loves hearing from you)
-by hearing from Him - reading His word and applying what you learn to your own life.
-by doing good to your fellow man - what you've done for the least of your fellow man, you've done for Him.
-by being a servant - men like to build themselves up, become higher than others; but the greatest among us is our servant. Even the Son of God came to us as a servant.
-by never judging - leave that one up to God Himself.
-by thinking...whose the person you love most in this world? Your husband? Wife? Best friend? Mom? Dad? Baby sister? Boyfriend? Girlfriend? And then think and pound it into your heart, even as much as you love these people, love God even more.
-by never taking credit for the good things in our lives; got a promotion? Never feel proud of it, never feel boastful...God has given you the good things, so He deserves the credit.
-by never tempting Him: "God, I really need this...if you just do this one thing for me, I promise that I'll ___________ "
-by never worshipping anything or anyone other than God. He's a jealous God.
-by honoring your parents.
-by never taking His name in vain.
-by fearing Him. When we fear Someone as much as we fear God, then we're afraid of displeasing Him.
Sounds like He spoke a wonderful message to you. You know, not many people can recognize when God is speaking to them...but you seemed to nail it!
You're very blessed, you know?
Thanks for sharing that story - it was uplifting.
