It's Sunday. Monday's coming in exactly 12 hours. Oh well, I got to learn.
FLOWS
1) F - Fear God
2) L - Love Him with all your heart, soul, mind & strength
3) O - Observe His commands
4) W - Walk in His ways
5) S - Serve Him with all you heart, soul, mind & strength
God asks us to love Him only after we've experienced Him. That's a cool God. Israel was asked to obey and remember only after 40 years of experiencing God in the desert. What more can we ask for? Good thing He didn't zap me dead, He could've.
And yet it is difficult to do just that very thing - to love Him. The cares of this world overwhelm and drown that CALL. How easy and convenient to us, huh? "I'm sorry God, I can't meet him/her because I've got other plans already. He/She cannot fit into my schedule." Or "I'm tired. Can't do anything for anyone else. "
The CALL always challenges us to not look inward, it's for the other person's well being. The motivation however, should be because we love Daddy. It is futile if the motivation is otherwise. Everything that we do must be a result of our love for the Father. It sounds simple, not easy though.
I fall into this very category of I want my time for myself! Erm, ok. I'll discuss with Daddy. Will see how I progress along this line of loving Him. Higher calling.
bla bla black sheep,

Loving HIM means "Everything I Do I DO it For HIM"
Every action before I take, I consider how He feels if I do it.
Imagine He is the best daddy, something like me, how you gonna love HIM.
There's still the "Me".
