What Does Loving God Look Like?

Love is an action verb. So when we love God, we actually act upon that love. We can begin with that :).

If we love God, don’t we love what and who He loves? When we love God, we pray. Afterall don’t we talk to those we love? Don’t we tell those we love about our day, the good and the bad? Our successes and our worries? Don’t we say Thank You? We tell those we truly love-everything and we listen to them and follow their guidance as well 🙂

And don’t we do things for those we love? In God’s case, there is so much we can do for Him. We can put God first. We can pray. We can make time to really listen to God. And we can listen to God’s guidance and obey Him. We can be kind to others. There are really so many things we can do to love God!

As to all of those who God loves, don’t we share what we have been given with them? It may be something physical like a bag of groceries. It may be a smile or word of encouragement. It may be taking the time to listen, really listen, to the worries or problems of another. It may be a hug. It may be so many things. So many acts of love and kindness. For isn’t that what Jesus calls upon us to do? Love our neighbor as ourselves!

Love is so often defined as a “deep affection or feeling for someone”. But the truth is, Love is an action verb and it requires action.

” Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body ^[a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.” – 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
