I was listening to a song about one’s love for God—the main chorus states that “I could sing of your love forever”. And it got me thinking—what does it mean to really know and love God? And the answer seemed so simple; I wonder why we don’t see it more often. To love God is to want to be like him—that love should inspire you to be and do your best. I’m serious—this isn’t one of those goofy billboards that declare, “Pass it on”. It’s really how I think things should be. I mean, when we are in a healthy human-to-human relationship, we announce that that person brings out the best in us. Well, then, shouldn’t we expect that from a human-to-God relationship?
I certainly want to do this—I want to be a better person because I know Jesus and want to be like him.
This is in contrast to much of the behavior we see when encountering Christians at large. The bigotry, damning of souls, snobbery, judgment, and other rotten behaviors all too often describe Christianity. It’s embarrassing, really, and makes me wonder why those people who claim to know and love Jesus don’t want to act more like him.
