i ask myself that everyday....i know I'm not doing everything God would have me to do...i still fall short according to the bible...but i think he may be somewhat pleased that I'm trying and pushing and getting to a point where I'm letting go of weights that hold me back....you want to know that you are pleasing God.

loving a person is accepting them for who they are, being in love with them is a type of worship that is hard to maintain...just my opion but i like to beleive that was the easiest way to explain it...

Oh most definitely.  I am not longer my own.  I have been bought with a price, the Blood of Jesus.  Some things that I have gone thru in my life would have made me loose my mind had it not been for the love of Jesus.  With each day that He blesses me to live and breathe, I bless Him continually.  I will bless the Lord at all times.   In persecution, in happiness, in sadness, in despair, etc.   I thank God for giving me the knowledge of Him and His grace.  May God Bless

Love is truly a feeling, but that feeling is not always truly love. this is an excerpt from an article I wrote on this subject.\n\nWhen we look at the subject of love and romance, we all come to it with our own pre-set ideas on what it means. And often this is contrary to what God says about the subject. While the Bible does not give a set pattern or prescribe a certain way of doing things, there are a number of principles found throughout the Bible, which we can take and apply to our various mindsets and preconceptions.\n\nWhat we need is a renewing of the mind through the washing of the water of the Word of God. Most of us never even think to question the way things are around us, but the truth is that when the gospel of the kingdom comes, it will clash at times with the way things are and challenge the status quo. Are we willing to stand up for what is right and say that the way things are is not the way they should be and advance the kingdom of God in our own hearts and lives? Are we willing to challenge our brothers and sisters to walk in a manner worthy of our calling as saints of the living God and not submit to the pattern of this world? (Rom. 8:29, 12:1-2) This is not something that you can be convinced of (even though it is true), but something that comes as a revelation from God. Are you willing to allow God to give you His perspective on this subject? (Pray here for the Holy Spirit to give revelation.)\n\nThis is a subject largely untouched by our Christian teachers today. And I believe one reason is that most have never thought about it deeply, and another is that people don’t really want to hear it. John 3:19-21 speaks of people who saw the light, and preferred to continue in darkness because they loved what they were doing and didn’t want to change. However, as the people who bear the very name of Christ, we must come into the light so that our deeds may be seen to be of God. In 2 Tim. 4:3-5 Paul warns Timothy that people will hire teachers who teach things that tickle the ears and don’t produce lasting change, because they don’t want to be confronted with the truth, and not to let that keep him from teaching what is true.\n\nOne of the major strongholds I see in our (Western) culture is what I have termed “Romance”. This is often mistaken for love, and is commonly made the focus of almost all our efforts in the process of determining who we want to date/marry. Dean Sherman sometimes calls this our “date-ability”. I want to give you a few little guidelines for how to tell the difference between love and romance. Please understand that this is not the dictionary definition of romance, and in the right context romance is one of the greatest of all the gifts God has given us, but I could not find any other English word that came closer to expressing the idea I want to convey. Romance (in the commonly accepted sense) is absolutely necessary for a life-long relationship, and one of the great joys that offset the sufferings of love, but you cannot build a lasting life together on romance alone. Love will develop all the good qualities of romance, while rejecting the selfish ones and in the end be more fulfilling. Love is the foundation on which romance must be built. What our culture/society teaches us, and the idea I wish to counter here, is that romance is the foundation on which to build love. I give you the divorce rate in our culture/society: More than 50% the last time I checked. This is possibly the greatest contributing factor for so many marriages failing, although there are many other factors as well. Because as we grow up, we are taught (sometimes unconsciously) that romance should be the primary motivator, and in some cases we come to believe that it’s the only motivator; but romance will simply fade away if it’s not built on the solid foundation of love. Developing romance before love can actually hinder the development of love. \n\nBefore going any further, let me give you my definiti

It sounds like you REALLY love God, like more than just friends

Yes I do.  God knows every hair on their head, and he created them in his image.  I am no more valuable to God than they are.  But actually, I don't have any enemies.  If we have enemies, that is not from God, but from satan.\n\nGod is love, forgiveness, peace, etc.  I once was very upset with my boss, who did a terrible thing to me.  Jesus said I must forgive him.  I couldn't.\n\nFinally, I did it as an act of obedience to God, even though I didn't feel it.  I prayed for him (against my will).  It took several months.  One day I saw myself in the heavens singing praises to Jesus as I looked up a white hill.  I was holding the hand of my boss, and he was singing praises with me.\n\nI was healed.

Uh, no. God loves us and as our Heavenly Father he loves affection from children as does any parent.

yes, I have conversations with GOD daily...many times a day actually..and HE does answer back...there are times that HE actually initiates..\n\nI was washing dishes the other week complaining to myself in my mind about all the difficulties I was having and how I didn't want to fool with any of it anymore...thinking to myself now...then HE spoke to me...HE told me that I was put here on this earth to do HIS will, and if I didn't want to do HIS will, then my purpose for being here was done, and I could be removed...\n\nHumbling, very humbling..\n \nThere are times that HE speaks to me, but not like the above mentioned incident.  HE has spoken to me concerning my husband's healing and health issues, HE has held me and comforted me through the death of my best friend...There are times that I talk and it's like HE doesn't hear because HE doesn't answer immediately, BUT, it is to teach me patience and the fact that it is worth waiting on GOD's answer.\n\nGOD BLESS YOU

I do to a degree. Love is very powerful and moves people to do the impossible. I believe that today mankind confuses love. Especially in the english language. We say I love my dog , I love chocolate, I love my wife, I love my parents, etc. However we do not love those things all on the same level. There is no other way to say it in English. So it is true there are different levels of love. There is a level in Greek called, "Agape". This is the highest level there is. God has it for mankind.The kind we have for God. Christ commanded us to have it for one another. This form of love allows you to even love your enemies. Imagine that able to love your enemies. It is very difficult to show this kind of love because it is a perfect bond of love. We are not perfect. Some people are able to come close. Yet only God is able to demonstrate it perfectly since he is perfect. IMagine though if all the world tried to apply it what a better world we would live in. No more divorce.
