Everything important depends on how much we love God.

Everything important depends on how much we love God. Days were programmed to give us opportunities to use our free will. Every day, we choose to think a thousand thoughts. Each thought we chose to think brings us closer to God or farther away from Him.

Likewise, every word we choose to say shares one of those thoughts with someone else. Each word either brings us, or our listener, closer to, or farther from, God.

We decide to do hundreds of things each day. Many of those decisions take us closer to, or farther from, God.

If we awaken, and think of God, our thoughts will be focused toward Him. If we pray throughout the day, our thoughts tend to stay with Him. As we try to guide our thoughts, our words, and deeds are directed toward Him, and by Him.

To think of Him is to grow closer. Thoughts, words, and deeds reflect His presence in our lives. Our souls are happier.

Our chances of going to Heaven are increased.
