How do i know when i love God the most??

This question was posted by Katie after reading last month's featured question and it goes right along with what we've been discussing on the blog. In Matthew 6 Jesus said "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." So we do a little personal inventory, which we should be doing regularly to make sure we're on the right path instead of wandering like idiots all over the place. I'm prone to wander...and sometimes to idiocy.

To figure out what you treasure most, ask yourself what you think about the most. What do you spend most of your time, energy and money on? What do you get most excited about and talk with others most about? When we love someone or something we can't help talking about them or it. Do you find yourself thinking and talking about God more than anything else or do you forget Him for most of the day and go about your business? That should narrow it down to what you really treasure and from there you just have to make a decision. If Jesus isn't your treasure, do you want Him to be? Because if you really want to love Him most He can help you get there, all you have to do is ask and keep asking. Be persistent. He loves persistence and a heart that wants to know Him. And the great news is that He can see what's really happening in your soul, way under all the crud, so don't get depressed because you're not where you think you should be, and don't compare yourself to others. Just get really really honest with Him and ask Him to guide you out of the crud and into the clear where you can see Him.
