What God wants

Many great saints have said the same thing that God is Love – pure and unadulterated. Essence of this simple statement is not easy to understand. As a great saint has said that it is a matter of experience not of intellect – it knows no logic, but only devotion and faith. God wants us to love Him for His sake and not for fulfilling our worldly desires. Almighty is a very jealous beloved – He doesn’t want us to love anything or anyone other than Him. And achieving such a love is not an easy thing to do. It is also true that unless we love Him as He wants us to love Him, we cannot be truly happy and cannot unite with Him. The one who loves Him the way He wants gets everything. Lord very eagerly wants us to return back to Him but He tests our true love and devotion for Him. I recently experienced how He might be feeling when we poor mortals fail to understand this and constantly try to do our own will rather than submitting ourselves to His Sweet Will. I guess most of the parents too will be able to relate to this feeling I’m talking about. We think that we can achieve true Happiness by our own efforts, but we are mistaken. It is only through our complete devotion and love for Him that we can be worthy of His Grace and meet Him. It is a matter of pleasing Him by doing whatever it takes! And it is not easy to do
