You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5
A piece of advice sometimes given to us has a cute roll to it, and that is 'fake it till you make it'. However when it comes to approaching the Lord to learn love, that just does not seem like good advice to me. Practice till you become proficient seems like a better way to go. If I do not yet understand love fully, then I can go to the teachings of the word of God and practice. Faking love would certainly be obvious to God, and likely to everyone else as well. Practicing, on the other hand, will show that I am far from perfect at loving, but that I have a desire to improve at it. I believe the Lord can work with practicers, but fakers? Uh, not so much.
May the love of the Lord, who is of course 100% good at it, go with you this day!
