Deuteronomy 10:12 “And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the LORD your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul.

When we truly love someone, we do things that make them happy.  We unselfishly find ways to show our affections and appreciation for them.  When asked, “do you love God?”  It is automatic to respond, “yes.”

So, since we profess to love God, let’s find ways to unselfishly make Him happy.  Let’s fear Him; let’s evaluate our actions – what we say, where we go, what we dwell on – to live in a way that pleases Him.  So, let’s go beyond a holiday and live to love God!
