    Your relationship to God is foundational. Out of loving Him springs love of others and loving and doing for them. For me something new every day…i have no idea what is next to please Him

    In that you feel a sinful person, congratulations, you are like the Publican that said he was a sinful person to God, that Jesus said went home justified. I need always to remember i am a sinful person saved by His grace and mercy.

    I dont feel like a hypocrite because i have been forgiven of my sins, the ones I am conscious of. I asked Him forgiveness.

    I never think about “loving God above all things” as a thing I have to do because He loves me so much that its easy to respond. In love (with the help of His spirit).

    We can get caught up with people and things and become very attached to them. The first commandment is to love God above all with heart soul and mind. If we have our hearts attached to Him we will have His peace and stability. Our life focus being stayed on Him, nothing else comes close to the...

    A primary reason that i write poems, or other things, even though what i say is very personally is revealing of my relationship to Him, there is a need in me for my brothers and sisters to love Him very much too. I cant give them that love for Him or make them know how much He loves them. He is...

    I think I told you part at least of the following already: For a very long time I have greatly enjoyed worshiping the God that loves me through hymns. 50 years ago i asked the question (after being a member of a church for 23+ years) does any of this make sense? The answer to that question took...

    Does God Love Some People More?

    Yes I think I agree with you. God does hates based on what we do. He created each one of us, and He loves what He created. On my question about Judas my answer is that it was necessary for Judas to be created to fulfill prophecy. That may seem "unfair" but everything He does is perfect, He is...

    The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born? why was he born?
