The things which God has prepared for those who love Him

1 Corinthians 2:9-14 (New King James Version)

9 But as it is written:


“ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”


Love. What does it mean to love someone. Why do I love someone... TO SHOW love to someone. You have reverence towards them. You respect them. I look @ my parents and ask myself- why do I love them. They are my parents after all. I do my best to respect their household. I love them by listening to them. I love them by abiding by their rules. Hmmm, maybe I love them because I receive love from them as well. I love to be around them. I love to share things with them. I love them because they keep inviting me to family dinners- I am wanted.

In what ways CAN I not love them? Take control of the TV. Make a mess and not clean it up. Bossing them around. Demanding stuff.

It is our choice to tend to our own actions, backed up by what type of personality traits we chose to hold on to. Do we follow the rules in our everyday life? These rules are set forth by God to keep a somewhat dignified order here on earth.


But text says "...for those who love Him." How do I love God?

I acknowledge His presence. I listen to His rules. I respect Him as my creator, the giver of life. We are here only to be tested and learn what we have done wrong. To be corrected by our sins. To be put through testing, testing to see if we throw a tantrum by not liking what is going on in our lives. Testing to prove our love for Him by trusting Him in our trials. We are to SERVE HIM, not run rampant and lost!

My curiosity arose on the fact that God will only bless those whom He knows, and they are the ones the "love" Him.

"The things which God has prepared for those who love Him"


Do you love Him? Are you showing your love for Him? Do you have a desire to change your life and begin to love your Father?
