In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 3:31] Proclaim: "If you love GOD, you should follow me." GOD will then love you, and forgive your sins. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

[Quran 2:165] ... Those who believe love GOD the most. ...

[Quran 19:96] Surely, those who believe and lead a righteous life, the Most Gracious will shower them with love.

As a person who is righteous, God loves you more than you can imagine. More than your parents could. More than your children will. He will always be there for you. Shouldn't the One who loves us deserve our love too (Quran 2:165)?

How can we show God we love Him? Of course we can say it aloud. But do we feel it in our souls? Do we cringe in reverence when we hear God's words (Quran 39:23)? Do we eagerly race to be righteous and charitable (Quran 3:134)? Do we feel happy to share a really nice moment with God?

May we seek the pleasure of God today and realize that the kingdom of God will follow.
