For the Love of God

How am I to love God?

Incorrect: "I put God first. First in all of my priorities, first in all of my relationships, first in my schedule, and first in my loves. I wake up early to spend time with God before I do anything else, even when I have a test that day. I place 'God things' in the 'jar of my life' before anything else." When I die, people will think of me and say, 'There was a man who prioritized God first, family second, etc.'"

"Correct: I put God only. Each of my priorities, relationships, schedules, and loves are just a reflection of my love for God. I love, protect, minister to, and provide for my family because that is what God has called me to do. I am devoted to my studies because that is what God has called me to do. I stand by and encourage my friends because that is what God has called me to do. And I minister to my enemies, for God has called me to this too."

Everything I think. Everything I say. Everything I do. For the love of God.
