Love makes us take action. We are motivated to work harder by love. We wake up every morning and see the our loved one next to us. We see our children eating breakfast and we are motivated to provide for them.
This mystery is easy to solve. We love because we are first loved. People who don't love have been lied to and manipulated into believing there is no love and that no one indeed loves them.
"We love because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19
How do you love God more? Let Him love you more first!
How do you give more to God? Let Him give more to you!
Jesus was pretty blatant when he said, "I came not to be served but to serve." And Paul later wrote, "at just the right time, Jesus died for the ungodly." He died for those who are seemingly far away. Yet many do not know that love is actually for them. It's sad.
Don't fall into the trap of believing that God will only love you if you can do something for Him. He loved your before you could do anything for yourself. The only reason He wants your love is to see that you are getting His love.
