How You Love God Is How You Love Man

So you think you love God?
Do you know the measure you love God with
is the measure you love people with?
Do you have patience with Him?
Do you respect authority?
All are determined by the ways you look at God
and see God
Do you see Him as an authoritarian figure
Or do you see Him as a determined, loving God?
How does one come to know about God?
Is it through reading?
No my friend
It's through what He shares with you
And He only shares if He has a personal relationship with you
But don't worry
If you didn't
Because he always gets His way
He will work in you 
and will make you come to Him
He knows which is His
as the Bible says 
"I am the good shepherd
I know my own 
and my own know me" (John 10:14)
Supposed you had a rough start
Does that mean all is lost for you?
No that just means you are at the beginning
and have a long way to go
People are at different point in their dealing with God
We shouldn't judge others
as we can only judge ourselves
The guy you meet today
may not be the same guy you meet tomorrow
It happens that fast
Take heart
God can change the hardest of man
He can change you
We are all in the process
- of changing
What you see God today 
may not be what you see God tomorrow
But no fear
as we only change from "glory to glory"( 2 Corinthians 3:18)
So have patience
with God and with man
All are doing their jobs
Leave them alone, would you?
