is Loving God really Hard?

I received a call from ate Donna months ago, she asked me to give a talk entitled "The Christian ideal: Loving God" this is for another chapter's clp. She told me she had an urgent thing to attend to. Kinda refused her at first but before we ended our conversation, i actually said yes..that was Monday ,talk is scheduled Wednesday therefore i just reviewed for 2 days listening to the recorded talk (mp3) via my ipod, researched videos thru youtube, reading outline more than twice. Giving that talk has made me overcome fear speaking to CLP crowd. Don't get me wrong, I'm on sales, meaning my bread and butter is thru speaking with lots of people. But, CLP is a different audience though:)

2 weeks ago, ate Irish texted me and asked me the same favor; to give a talk on behalf of her, once again i said Ok. I reviewed again the outline, i feel priviledged while doing the summary thru powerpoint because with this i'm reminded on how to Love our God.

As a busy person, sometimes i fall short and i feel guilty of not giving God a quality time that He deserves..I'm really trying to have a constant prayer time and scripture reading.

i delivered the talk tonight. I was so shocked in the middle of my talk coz the outline that i've made was at the table nearby..what? i'm speaking w/o notes? hmmmm..i just feel so thankful coz thru the powerpoint i've prepared, i think i explained the main points and delivered the message across and that was because the holy spirit helped me! :)things that i must remember forever:
- the greatest commandment.
" to love GOd with all you heart, Soul, Mind & Strenght"

- to make Loving God the highest Ideal and priority.

- that i must commit myself to GOD and my love for Him must not   just base on feelings & emotions but commitment.

- to love Him by avoding evil thoughts, to use my mind for his purpose.

- i can love God not just thru my Energy but also thru my time, money, talents. etc.:)

God gave us everything, what we have right now comes from Him, is it to hard for us to give back?


I will re-evaluate myself so i can Love God that way He would like me to love him...:D
