Why Do You Love Him?

Now that we’ve established that you do love God, here’s the next question to think about: Why?

If someone asked you why you love your child, parent, or spouse, you might give a general answer: ‘She’s a wonderful person.’ But a specific one would reveal far more about your relationship: ‘I love how she’s so patient and gentle with children’; ‘I love that he’s so quick to laugh at himself’; ‘I love him for putting integrity before monetary success.’

Why, exactly, do you love God? Because He saved you from sin and death? Because He purchased your salvation and promises you heaven? Those are great answers! But what about specifics? ‘I love Him for giving me the strength to get through chemotherapy’; I love the way He surrounds me every time I walk in the woods’’; ‘I love Him for leading me to a job that I love.’

Why do you love God?…” (Love)
