Building God's Love - a Love Beyond all else

We can be discouraged, frustrated, and downright down in the dumps when our relationship with someone else doesn't go well - or when there is no relationship.

God is not fickle. God does not make unreasonable demands. God does not compel. He gives us the guidelines, he tells us what will work and what won't, and he leaves our destiny to our choices; all choices have consequences.

We each have immense potential and He really wants each of us to reach that. Lastly, if we stumble for any reason at all, if we want to get back up, we can reach for His hand and it is gladly there for us.

REMEMBER: We were each created in His image. Even those of us whose knuckles are right now scraping the ground. He wants us to feel His love, to get off the ground.

That said.

There is a cycle, a cyclic thing.

1. Notice  the ways He loves us (there is a multitude of ways.
   
   
2. Acknowledge it to Him, give Him your appreciation, thanks and - yes - praise
   
   
3. Tell Him you love Him and will serve as He would that you do. (If you haven't, well today is a new day.)
   
4. Feel His love, notice it. Hear what He tells you or affirms to you
   .
5. Thank Him. Tell Him you love Him. Get that ever-increasing cycle going
   .
6. It will increase, enlarge, until you feel bursting with His love and with devotion to your eternal Father.

Go love him, kick that cycle in. Oh, and "church" isn't just an end to itself,  or a social club. It's where we can help each other reach that feeling.
