Love God

Love God through repentance: acknowledge your sins and renounce your sins and amend your life in Love.

Love God through humility:  acknowledge God's authority in your life and govern your life by the commandment of Love; willingly accept God's plan for your life— and patiently bear your daily cross.

Love God through kindness and charity:  help the needy and the orphans; administer justice to the needy; use your time and talents generously for good cause.

Love God through suffering:  patiently bear your sufferings and difficulties of life; willingly accept suffering from God's hand;  attend to the sick; help those in distress— comfort them.

Love God through forgiveness: forgive the people who hurt you and ill-treated you; all those who unloved you; all those who despised you; all those who abused you; all those who cursed you.

Love God through reconciliation: reconcile your life with God;  reconcile with your spouse; reconcile with your parents; reconcile with all those with whom your relationship has gone sour.

Love God through gentleness: be gentle and polite and peaceable, in dealing with all people— and especially when people oppose you; be gentle when you correct people who wrong you.

Love God through patience and understanding: be patient, when your life is tested by adverse circumstances; be patient and understanding with all those who ill-treat you, irritate you and speak calumny against you; be patient with yourself— with your weaknesses; shortcomings and your sins.

Love God through mercy: be merciful to all those who seek your pardon and mercy; be generous to the needy.

Love God through obedience: be obedient to God's commandment; be obedient to your parents (love them; respect them; be kind to them; sympathize with them); be obedient to your superiors/employers; be obedient to those who demand your obedience viz. the governing body of a nation.

Do everything conscientiously—  as a love offering to God.
