If we love God with all our heart, all our mind, and all our soul, we will keep our sights set on Him constantly. We will be open to His guidance and direction in what we are to say, to think, to feel, and to do. It is like rowing a boat, if you want to go straight, you must keep your eyes set on a landmark to steer by. If we love our neighbor as ourselves, we will not have as many personality conflict problems as we now face. For if we genuinely love someone else, as we ourselves would like to be loved, we will be more considerate of how we act and what we say to one another.

God wants to help us, in any way He can, to reach our full potential. He can do this only by making it possible for us to be in His presence. He made it possible by sending Christ to bridge the gap between God and man. He is not only our Savior, but also our Father. As our Father, He wants the best for us. The Bible says that if God loves His natural creation so much that not a sparrow falls without His knowledge, then how much more must He love man. His greatest crea- tion. God does love us and care for us. He loved us so much that He could not bear for us to live in sin with no way out or to see us forever barred from communion with Him. So He sent His son to die for us on the cross, that we might have life everlasting. Thanks to God ' s love, we have the choice of remaining as we are or accepting Christ into our lives and learning a new way to live. This in- volves a complete change in the direction our lives have been taking. Through Christ, we have made a 180 turn, and have left our ways of sin to focus our lives, thoughts, and ambitions on Him.
