f I love GOD with all my heart, and with all my soul and with
all my might the way we have explained in our last discussion,
GOD will fill all my thoughts! When GOD fills all my thoughts and
I think of Him affectionately and admiringly I am bound to
obey Him joyfully! Let me ask you, How often do you think about
GOD in a day? I know you remember GOD during your Quiet
Time [though its not always quiet] i.e. during your Morning
Devotion time. However from the time you are done with your
Morning Devotion to the time you are set to go back to bed at
night, how many times do you remember THE LIVING GOD and
HIS MISSION ON THE EARTH! Many so-called Christians dont
remember GOD at all from the time they finish their Morning
Devotion till the time they are ready to go back to bed at night
and they want to say their bed-time prayers asking for GODs
protection throughout the night! Anyone you love dearly you
surely remember many times in a single day they never really
go out of your mind because their love is abundant in your
heart! Beloved when your heart is filled with LOVE FOR

drawn to the THE BIBLE to read it again and again unendingly all your lifetime! If you are truly in love with GOD you will
seriously be in love with His Word! His Word will be sweet to you
like honey! See, [Psalms 19:7-10 (KJV)] 7 The law of the LORD

is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is

sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, REJOICING THE
HEART: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine
gold: SWEETER ALSO THAN HONEY AND THE HONEYCOMB. When you are in love with GOD, you will be in love with

His Word seriously! This is a major sign of being in love with

GOD! His Word will always cause your heart to rejoice! His Word
will be sweet to you like honey even sweeter than honey! Your
love for GOD makes you to accept His Word as the ruler of your
life so obedience to the SWEET WORD of the SWEET
LORD is authomatic! You wont try to twist the Word to suit your
own purpose, no! You submit to the Sweet Word with joy and gladness!

and more of fellowship with GOD! Does your soul long for
having a greater and deeper fellowship with GOD? Are your
heart and your flesh crying out for the LIVING GOD like it was for
the psalmist crying out for a greater and deeper walk with
GOD crying out to know GOD better and in a deeper way
crying out to have more and more of THE LIVING GOD in your
life? Recall, [Psalms 84:2 (KJV)] My soul longeth, yea, even

Hence every true lover of GOD should read His WORD with great
care and attention to make sure everything written therein is
taken note of and well understood and attended to as required
in order not to disappoint GOD!

to do anything that can give him/her pain. When
we sin we give GOD pain! Our sins cause pain in the

heart of THE LIVING GOD! Hence when we are really in

against HIM because this causes HIM pain in His heart! The
crieth out for the living God. If this is not your experience pray people
of the world of Noahs time didnt have the
fervently to GOD that it should be! The phrase the courts of the
LORD in the above Scripture verse speaks of the Place of
Worship. When you are in love with GOD, your heart always
yearns to be back in the place of PRIVATE FELLOWSHIP with
GOD also back in the Place of [Public] Worship back in the
assembly of His Saints!

GOD! They freely did what caused pain in the heart of
GOD! See, [Genesis 6:5-6 (NCV)] 5 The Lord saw that the hu-

man beings on the earth were very wicked and that everything
they thought about was evil. 6 He was sorry he had made human
beings on the earth, and HIS HEART WAS FILLED WITH
PAIN. See it in another Bible version [Genesis 6:5-6 (NLT)],
Now the Lord observed the extent of the people's wickedness,
and he saw that all their thoughts were consistently and totally
evil. 6 So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them. IT BROKE

HEART. The sinful people of Noahs time cause heart-

Him if you observe that though you call yourself a

Christian, you do not live a life of obedience to GOD, then you
need to cry to GOD to put His love in your heart in a strong and
compelling manner that will produce a life of obedience. Cry to
GOD in prayer and say LORD give me the grace and power to
love You with all my heart, with all my soul and with all my might!
Make a strong determination to repent, and do repent from every known sin in your life and pray to GOD to back up your determination by the power of His HOLY SPIRIT!

SION! Though you cannot see GOD physically but you surely
can see His Word, you can see His Church and you can see His
Mission Work! If a darling writes a love letter to you you
surely dont read such a letter once but again and again actually you never finish reading such a letter because reading it
each time gives you joy! The WORD OF GOD THE BIBLE is
GODS love letter to you! If you are in love with GOD you will be

find it easy to do what Joseph did here we shall like Joseph turn
down every opportunity to sin and call sin GREAT WICKEDNESS.

she said, Lie with me.

9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept
back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: HOW
THEN CAN I DO THIS GREAT WICKEDNESS, AND SIN
