Loving God

The Bible says to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.  Well, which God do you love?  The one you make up? Many of us want a god who agrees with us. That is, agrees with our views, prejudices and opinions.  If I don’t like certain people, then neither can my god like them.  This can be the cause so much religious and ethnic conflict.  It can become political too.  For you to believe in your god, it must agree with you.  Your god has to carry out all your religious rules.  My God lives beyond my narrow world.  But until I can love the person who is”other” I don’t think I can love the real God who is beyond my narrow comprehension.
