Why did God make this wonderful World for you to enjoy? So you'd know He loves you. Why did He want you to know He loves you? Because He needed someone to love! What is the whole duty of man? Soloman says it in Ecclesastes: The whole duty of man is to fear God & keep His commandments. (Ecc. 12:13) But Jesus boiled it down to something even simpler: "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart & thy neighbor as thyself." (Mat.22: 37-40) He made it a more personal loving relationship between Him & you & me. Instead of fear God, He said, Love the Lord! And instead of just "keep the commandments", He said, "Love thy neighbor as thyself. In these are all the law & prophets." You'll never be able to enjoy life to the full without Him, because He has created your own heart & life with a vacancy, a hollowness, an emptiness, an aching void that only He can fill. He saved one spot in your heart, the very core of your life, for Himself. He created you to love Him. You're His creation, you're His child, He wants you! -- Real: Stephen Kelley, Univ of MD Comp Sci UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!kelso CSNet: kelso@umcp-cs ARPA: kelso%umcp-cs@UDel-Relay
