How inexpressible is God's love! Not only does God love us with His unlimited love, but also He asks for our love, and considers this love worthy of appreciation and does everything to earn it. Why did He, with just one sign, create the heavens, the earth, the sun, all the invisible worlds, and the incomparable beauty of the invisible worlds?
The reason is quite simple. So that we may see His perfect wisdom in the midst of His creation, and thus we love Him. Mankind can become worthy of love when they show goodness and wisdom. God has condescended and became man to prove not only His love for us but also that He wants our love.
He acted as a God and as a man and used all the ways to attract our hearts towards Him, and to light them up with the fire of His divine love. God's law is a law of friendship and acts to turn us into grateful friends. Therefore, our thoughts ought to be directed towards God, and this is not difficult. We do not need to sweat, toil, spend money, go through danger of shame, or anything that leads to hurt. We can do our work, and still think about God. We can do our jobs, and still love God. Any leader can focus on his work without having anything to prevent him from thinking about God.
