It has been said, one of the greatest needs we have as human beings is, 'someone to love'. We were all born with the need to love someone. What does it mean to love God?

It is the hand of human experiences in the gloves of God´s providence. See God using the negatives in your life as stepping-stones in His divine purposes for your well-being, and His glory.

If you are experiencing tough times now, know that it is temporary. It’s not going to last forever. Ask your loving Father if there is something He wants you to learn through the experience. The sooner you pass the test, the sooner you graduate to His new day. Proverbs 3:11 admonishes you not to despise the chastening of God, nor despise His loving, correcting hand, because it is a sign of your Father’s unfailing, eternal love for you. Psalm 84:11 says, the Lord is a sun and shield. The Lord will give grace and glory. God will not withhold any good thing from those who love Him. Yes, loving God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength pleases God immensely, as we walk in close relationship with Him. Acknowledging my dependence upon God gives me,
