In chapter 5 of On Loving God, the questions “Why should not
the creature love his Creator, who gave him the power to love?” and “Why should
he not love Him with all his being, since it is by His gift alone that he can
do anything that is good?” were asked. This reading as a whole is pretty deep.
I have to reread some lines multiple times in order to comprehend what it
actually means. When I read these questions in chapter 5, I was just
astonished. I mean seriously, how can someone not love the Lord? He is so
mighty and so awesome and full of mercy and grace! How can one live without
loving him? The questions itself states why we should love God. He has given us
this ability and allowed us to do good things. The Lord is the one who gives us
this life to live and supplies us with more than we need and far more than what
we deserve. I cannot fathom the thought of living a life not loving my Savior,
my rock and my shield. I’m not exactly sure of what I am trying to say because
my mind is still trying to grasp this reading as a whole. It’s so deep and definitely
caused me to think!
