When will God tell us that now He knows that we love Him?
We all want to be recognized by others and when we are not we feel empty or less than what we are. Many of us are so focused on receiving praise and recognition from others that we forget to love and serve others. Because we are so focused on ourselves we forget others and that is where the problems arise? How about God? How much recognition do you desire from God?
God desires that we are focused on Him and love Him just as He loves us. We Christians, how much do you live for God and to give Him praise? Is He really your groom?
Do you want Him to recognize you while you do not for Him? When we live in faith, when does it come to the point where God will say to us that He knows now that we love Him?
In your life today, are people looking at you and seeing that you love God?
Will your children look at you and say that you are parents who truly believe and serve God?
Will your parents be able to look at your children and say that they are truly following God?
Are you hearing this in your life? Or is there someone in your life that you see and say that they are truly folling God? Do you really belive God or are you not?
Do you really believe that He is with you wherever you are, or are you living your life the way you want to and telling God to go wait over there for you?
No matter how rich or lacking everyone has problems, but it is what you do in your life that matters. Are you living the life of faith? Are you living to know God? Do you think that it was easier for Abraham? It is no different for us. God is God for all, He calls you to follow Him. Do you hear His voice? Do you even care to hear His voice? Our pastor always tells us to be children of faith. You can not live a mediocre life and desire heaven.
Heaven should not be your goal. Your goal should be to be the bride of Christ.
If this happens then heaven is automatically given to you as well. You must live a life that is worthy of the reward. You must live on earth as you will in heaven to go to heaven or if you practice living in hell that is where you will go. How are you living your life?
Even if you practice living in heaven your life is still filled with difficulty.
If you lie, argue, and rebel daily, how do you think that you will go to heaven?
As a family you are to live according to the will of Christ and parents are to live a life of example and teach your children to be obedient to God. You will not go to heaven because you think and say you will. Everyday you argue, get angry and fight with each other, what makes you think you will go to heaven?
When Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice, to God Isaac had already been offered, he was dead to Abraham, that is why God knew that Abraham loved Him. That is why God gave Isaac back to Abraham, because to Abraham God was first. You as parents, have you given up your children to the Lord, or are they more important to you than God? What have you given to God?
Is it your will, your family, your life, your wisdom, what have you given up to God so that He knows that you love Him? Our world is consumed with the desire of blessings but who does the things that may be blessed? Without working hard we expect to be blessed, that is the same as stealing from someone. Our blessing is God. We must live a live that shows God that we love Him. Do you not want to live a life where God tells us He knows that we love Him?
You cannot live a life of a lie in this world. You must live a life that is righteous and upright. I must know that God is with me always and live a life that God recognizes as righteous. If you want to really go to heaven then really live a life of faith and practice the teachings of the bible. Do not covet, do not steal, do not lie, learn to love, forgive, practice humility and learn to serve. God does not need your money. He wants you to do your best in where you are. Stop living for the praise of others. Rather live for God.
