What It Means to Love God

What It Means to Love God

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh
faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have
looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. (Psalm
63:1–2)

Only God will satisfy a heart like David’s. And David was a man after God’s
own heart. That’s the way we were created to be.

This is the essence of what it means to love God — to be satisfied in him. In
him!

Loving God will include obeying all his commands; it will include believing
all his word; it will include thanking him for all his gifts; but the essence
of loving God is enjoying all he is. And it is this enjoyment of God that
glorifies his worth most fully.

We all know this intuitively as well as from Scripture. Do we feel most
honored by the love of those who serve us from the constraints of duty, or
from the delights of fellowship?

My wife is most honored when I say, “It makes me happy to spend time with
you.” My happiness is the echo of her excellence. And so it is with God. He is
most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.

None of us has arrived at perfect satisfaction in God. I grieve often over the
murmuring of my heart at the loss of worldly comforts. But I have tasted that
the Lord is good. By God’s grace I now know the fountain of everlasting joy.

And so I love to spend my days luring people into joy until they say with me,
“One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell
in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the
Lord, and to inquire in his temple” (Psalm 27:4).
