Do you want to love God and be loved by Him? Then check first your thoughts such as: 'Do I look better in this outfit or…?' or, 'I want that car!' or 'I want to eat in that restaurant.' Do you think of such things? Now you should turn your eyes toward God. "If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him" (1 John 2:15). If you are to be loved by God, you need to fill your heart with things God wants such as hope for Heaven and desire to achieve a good heart.
