I love you Lord; you are my strength. – Psalm 18:1(NLT)
DECLARING YOUR LOVE FOR GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
To you O God, I declare my love and loyalty
I have never been treated by anyone so faithfully
You are the greatest lover of all time
You are my strength and my guide.
I love you Lord and I give you my all
Help me never to be tempted to sin and fall
All that I am and all that I have will always praise you
Only in you can I be complete, holy and be renewed.

When you realized that you found the man or woman of your life, what was the first thing you did? Didn’t you declare your love for that person? You didn’t just use mental telepathy and hope he or she gets it right away. You had to utter the words “I love you,” so you can tell this special someone that you are seriously committing to him or her. Especially when you get married, your vows to each other always declares the love you have for each other. It solidifies your feelings and your sincerity.
The bible talks about how King David often declared his love for God in his Psalms. Declaring his love for God reinforces his belief and faithfulness to him. Saying out loud that you love God creates intimacy and strength in our relationship with him.
PRAYER
I love you Lord with all my heart and soul.
REFLECTION
How often do you express your love for God?
