Loving God with all of our heart

With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:6-8

Hmm, what could i give to God that could please him? we could pray, fast, and even do many good works and God would be so pleased with us! but... hold on there's more to this Christian walk then praying fasting and even doing good... The biggest thing we need is love , as Jesus said himself Thou shalt love the Lord they God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. As much as we should do good, if our heart is not right, then these works we are doing profits us nothing. We as human beings can find it hard to love others sometimes, especially if they do not fit into our "norm", but the factor here is that love is so important, especially knowing that God is love. The scripture says  Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love 1 john 4:8. it seems a bit harsh but in order to get anywhere in this journey it is critical we have this attribute so our life would be sealed with the most high God. I encourage us today to Love God, and people with a true and sincere heart!
God Bless
