Thought Adjuster: “What does it mean to [[love]] [[God]]? Some say they love God, but do not live like people who love God.
“When you love someone, you [[think]] about him or her, you care, invest time, [[listen]], and you know he or she is there. So, if you love God, how can you [[express]] your love to Him?
“You need to express love, [[manifest]] it and live it. Your love for God is manifested in different ways.
“The first way is through [[your mind]], when you consciously [[decide]] to devote thoughts to God to express to Him your love, to thank Him and to be with Him.
“The second way is through your [[acts]]. If you love God, you manifest it in various ways, whether you are [[aware]] about them or not. It is shown in the brightness of your eyes. It is shown in the [[smile]] toward your brothers and sisters. It is shown in your [[peace]] and caring disposition. It is shown in the [[faith]] with which you live your life.
“The third way is through the [[experiences]] of your faith — the trust you place in Him. It is when you live your life [[guided]] by Spirit, with absolute [[trust]] in Love. It is not possible to love and [[doubt]], for love is [[absolute]] and unconditional. It is, or it is not. If someone loves [[the Father]] and trusts Him, he or she [[surrenders]] to [[His love]] and feels [[confident]] and protected.
“The fourth way to show your love to God is by loving yourself. God lives in you. You are His creation. You are His [[masterpiece]]. Why then would you treat badly yourself or another [[creation]] of [[the Father]] — someone He so loves? The love for the Father is manifested in your love for [[His children]]. And the son of the Father closer to you, with whom you spend your whole life, is yourself. How then should you treat yourself? How will you take care, protect, hear and understand yourself?
===Closing===
“Love God. Love Him deeply. Love Him and show Him your love by loving yourself and loving those who cross your [[path]]. That must be the [[meaning]] of your life: manifest the love of God in your own person and your [[kin]].
“[[Everything]] else will be given to you in [[abundance]]. You have nothing to [[worry]] about. Instead, devote yourself to love God and your brothers and sisters with all your [[heart]] and with all your mind.”
