Misconception Of love
At the age of 25 my eyes were first opened to have an understanding on what loving the Most High is and his requirements of those that love him. I started a relationship with the Most High years earlier at 21 years old but it was without a good understanding of how to properly serve him. At that point it was mainly focused on trusting the Most High in what he can do for me.
In return I attempted to be my own version of what I thought was serving the Most High. You know just the basics of being kind and trusting God. I was still under the mindset that as long as I say please forgive me for my sins on my last breath of life I was going to heaven.
Fake Love
It was like I trusted the creator but I didn’t have anything to make me take the relationship seriously. I had no understanding of the bible at that point. Although I attempted to read a scripture here and there. Nonetheless it was in my heart to serve our creator.
The problem was I had no real idea on loving or how to serve the Most High. Eventually with that mindset my relationship with the Most High was put on the back burner. There was no real obligation to keep me steady.
Love Is A Action
A lot of our relationships with the Most High starts and stops at how much he loves us. When the main topic that matters is; how much do we love him? The Most High loves those that love him. With that being said love is an action. If you love someone you care about what hurts them and what makes them smile.
We never want to disappoint who we love. You see, the Most High does not need our validation. So you or me saying God knows I love him while breaking his commandments every chance available is not love. That is flattery; which the Most High could care less about meaningless words.
Laughter Turned Eye Opening
At age 25 I was actually on periscope watching videos and there was a man that caught me and my husband’s attention when talking about racial issues. We thought it was highly entertaining because he was going in and making a lot of sense. I won’t say his name because he eventually became Islamic. I don’t want to offend this gentleman but all of this is a part of the story.
In no way do I want to disrespect anyone’s spiritual beliefs but before his switchover he gave a powerful piece of advice. With that being said I did not keep up with his videos so I don’t know what he teaches now. What I took from those short few months of his teachings in every video he said read the bible for yourself. I still appreciate the valuable information that I learned from him during that period of time in my life.
Stay On The Path
My belief is that we as people can get off of the path if we become a person that seeks to be the smartest in the presence of people. Everything we learn has to be with the intention of building an intimate relationship with the creator. In general if we seek spiritual information outside of the Most High, the creator can not dwell within our spirit. He allows us to get off of track when it becomes more about our mission than his.
If you truly trust the Most High to do all things then you wouldn’t have other spiritual things as a backup plan. When you build a loving relationship with the Most High there will be many things that will attempt to severe the bond. One thing that I know most people struggle with is doubt during hard times. Those are the times to trust in the creator like never before.
You Can’t Love Through Someone Else
Nevertheless during the time that I was watching him he was representing loving the Most High. He talked about obeying the laws and its importance. The main thing that I took away from this gentleman is he would always say read the word for yourself. If you read the word for yourself even if your pastor decides he no longer is a follower of the Messiah; it won’t have you questioning your own beliefs. With that, being said the Messiah is a follower of the Most High. Therefore, because the holy spirit comes directly from the Most High and imbedded within the spirits of Mankind; it is okay in my humble opinion to follow the Most High directly and not through a Messiah. Every Messiah is a leader and also a man. Matthew 12:32 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Also if you read for yourself you will start to learn what the Almighty actually requires of us. I took those words into my heart and I did just that. While reading the word I truly got to know who the Most High is; and started to practice loving him. How can you truly love someone that you don’t try to get to know?
Intimate Love With The Most High
I built an intimate relationship with the Almighty. It was then that I realized that he didn’t create me so that he can serve me. So often we hear God got you; but do you got God? He created us to serve him. In return he will build you in every way beyond your imagination. This life we live is short but eventually we go on into eternity. Which eternity do you want to dwell in? Even before eternity, when you follow the Most High you will never feel alone in your life.
No matter the situation you will always be able to feel his presence in the midst. I think that there are so many times where we don’t allow the Most High to work things out for us. It is because we get stuck in our own vision of what life should look like. If you are following the Most High, allow him to lead you. I leave all of you with the advice that helped me. Read the word for yourself and might I add pray for understanding.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
