HOW TO CONNECT WITH GOD

Hey hey!  Day 15 ;0)

How to connect with God?  What a loaded question huh?  Truly the number one way to be connected to God is to live the first and greatest commandment...


"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  This is the first and great commandment." ~Matthew 22:36


So, how do you love? 
 

When I love someone, I serve them, I am there for them, and I honor them.  

For example, my Mommy.  I love my Mommy, she is so very precious to me, and so I call her a lot, I do whatever she asks me to do for her (even if I don't want to), and I hang out with her too.

how to destress, how to connect with God

If we compare this to Heavenly Father, it becomes very simple.  We can call him a lot (prayer), we can do whatever He asks (commandments in the scriptures), and we can hang out with Him (LOL).

How the heck do we hang out with him?  Huh?  LOL.  It just sounds funny to me but, we can, through our temple.


"If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." ~1Corinthians 3:17

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" ~1Corinthians 6:19

Pretty bible thumpin deep aye?


What I am trying to say is, this is how I know to be connected to God, by loving Him, by serving Him, and others, and by keeping my body, and mind, clean of harmful thoughts, feelings, and actions.


That is how I connect with God.


Have a great day my friend, I love you, I truly do...
