Chapter 6 Crazy Love

Chapter 6: When you're in love...
When you're in love with someone, you want to be with them. That's how we are with our human relationships; shouldnt we be crazy over the top with our relationship with Jesus!?!?! He is madly in love with us and what do we give Him in return? A few minutes here and there telling Him what we want Him to hear and not what is really going on. Why do we short change God and give and give to our earthly relationships? The thing is, loving God makes loving others better! Here is what we talked about in the Bible study. Sorry its so late!
"I want to want thee"
Here's a question: If we got to heaven and had everything we could ask for, but God wasnt there, would it matter? Would you be content with the good things but no relationship with Christ? If you are deeply in love with God, you could never be satisfied in a heaven without Christ.
We cant make ourselves love God more but we can let Him mold us.
We tend to form a cycle in our lives. We present impossible standards for others to meet when we cant meet them ourselves. We get angry with God when things dont go the way we want them to. Who are we to demand anything from God? Shouldnt it be there other way around?
If we dont love God like we should; He knows.
God is the one who changes us; its not anything we can do on our own.
