Why do we find it so difficult to love the Lord and pay attention to His commands? His commands are not hard to pay attention to, loving Him is certainly no chore, and the reward is great. Why then is it so difficult?
God offers to each of us
His unconditional love
And when we heed His commands
His abundant peace
Like a river flowing full
And steadily to the sea
Is ours
I suppose we could coin the phrase, “if it were easy, everyone could do it.” But it is easy. I can think of nothing easier than loving God, who loves us and chose us to be His. I believe everyone can do it, and the rewards are fantastic!
When we accept these gifts
His righteousness returns to us
Washing over us
In powerful and never-ending waves
As we wade
In the calm waters
Of His peace
If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea. Isaiah 48:18
