I was listening to a great speaker, who actually is really close to my age, but rocks harder than I do at preaching and communicating God's word. So I listen and I learn.
The talk he was giving that I was listening to involved loving God, loving self and loving others. How in the world do all those things work together.
I could go on about it, but there was a striking quote that rang in my ears from a man who I really do love. The quote from Augustine is this: "Love God and do what you will." It is really neat, because you can't do what you will and then love God. It doesn't work reversed.
And I love what this guy said about this quote. "Who He is is so wrapped up in who you are" Do what you will with the love for God. Love God first, then do what you will because if you really love God you are doing what God wants you to do.
Love God and do what you will.
