Most of the Psalms seem like love notes to God, and appropriately so. Certainly He who has loved us first and best deserves every day our expressions of love in return.
I John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.
We would not even know what love is were it not for a God who is love itself.
I John 4:16
God is love.
A young friend once complained to me that God seemed very egotistical in the devotion he demanded. If we were to view God by human standards this might be the case.
II Corinthians 5:16
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
From a worldly point of view the love, deference, imitation and committment God expects of us would seem self-aggrandizing. But it is God's love, not his ego that calls us to adore all that he is. God is not flesh and blood but spirit and what/who he is asking us to value above all else is all that he is.
I Corinthians 1:30
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
God is everything pure and perfect and holy. It's a good day to write a love note to God.
Psaml 111:1
I will extol the Lord with all my heart.
