How Much Do I Love Him?

Scripture: 1 John 5:[3] This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,

Observation: I tell God that I love Him each day, but talk is cheap. God has told me that He loves me and has given His son to take my place so that I may have eternal life with Him, but how Have I shown my love. When God calls me to act do I do it right away or is there some reasoning on my part? I’m God’s servant and when He commands me I must do what He asks with no question or hesitation. There is nothing He asks that is burdensome, usually there is such a wonderful blessing I should be to the point I can’t wait until He commands me each day.

Application: I’ll never be able to pay back God for all He has done for me and I should be anxious for any opportunity to obey. I know my God loves me, but does my God know that love Him. Seeing how I obey Him normally doesn’t show a loving heart, but a selfish sinner. My life needs to be devoted to doing the things God calls me to do and nothing else.

Prayer: My Father I do love you and forgive me for not showing it at times. You ask so little of me I should be just waiting for your command. Help me be a better servant for you. Your every command should be my wish and honor to do.
