God longing for our love

God Deserves to be love more than anyone else. We don’t take him for granted we need to love him with all our heart and all our souls because he loves us more than we did that is why we need to learn to love him more, he deserves to be loved more.
Even though our heart longs for God, it seems almost audacious to think that God wants us just as much, or even more, than we yearn for him. God is the initiator, always, of our longing. But more, Bernard tell us that
God is the cause of loving God…He himself creates the longing. He himself fulfills the desire. He himself causes himself to be such that he should be loved. He hopes to be so happily loved that no one will him in vain. His love both prepares and rewards ours. Kindly, he leads the way. He repays us justly. He is our sweet hope. He is riches to all who call upon him. There is nothing better than himself…He gives himself.
That has been a great wonder for all lovers of God. They have consistently asserted its truth. Because of God’s compassion – of what God is – he comes to us. He comes to us faster than we ever wish to come to him. It is said that for every single step we take toward God, he takes a dozen toward us. It’s a fact that never stops astounding us.
