1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

One way people call tell you love someone by the way you listen to them and obey their requests.

God has not asked us to do things which are impossible or very hard for us to do.

Christ has already done the impossible for us and now asks us to simply obey His commands; show Him some love by obeying Him.

Matthew 22:37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

When we get to see just how awesome God is and how much He cares for us, we should have no problem with loving Him for all He does for us.

But how much we love Him depends on how we see Him and how we see Jesus.

Jesus’ reminder for us is to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. That is an unconditional love with everything depending on Him and not us!

Romans 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

Not only does God know everything and everyone, but He is able to and does judge people according to the absolute truth.

We look for people in our lives whom we can trust. We look for people we can depend on. We look for safety.

The bible shows us time and time again we have a God who is just and worthy of our praise. He continues to look out for us and judge us according to His perfect ways.

Micah 4:12 But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord, Nor do they understand His counsel; For He will gather them like sheaves to the threshing floor.

God does not think in the same way as we do. He is not limited to the way we think. And His thoughts are certainly not trapped by the same sin as ours are!

When God asks us to do something or say He will do something. We are not to limit His ways to our own thoughts because nothing is impossible through Him.

When God is ready, He will bring in the harvest and not us; we should just continue to try and tell others about Him.
