First and foremost, this post is short and sweet. This post should take up to three minutes to five minutes to read.
Have you ever ask yourself a few questions that relates to should I love God and why should I love God?
He has done so much for you and I hope one day if you haven't already, acknowledge some things that he has done for you. It can be simple as watching over your family and always ensure that they will be safe and protected whenever they are away from home.
You don't need to have a strong faith to believe in God, you are his son or daughter who he cares about. God may not prove it to you often but you need to do your part to trust in him.
He always cares about you, he loves you, he trusts you, he knows your past, he knows what the future holds for you, he is always mindful of your needs, he won't ever leave you alone, he is always feeling joy whenever you are feeling joy, he is always feeling happy whenever you are feeling happy, and so forth.

I would like to share with you part of Dieter F. Utchdorf's talk "The Love of God" when he said about why should we love God.
"Why Should We Love God?
God the Eternal Father did not give that first great commandment because He needs us to love Him. His power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny, or even defile His name. His influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval, or admiration.
No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God! For what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who we are and who we will become.
We are created in the image of our heavenly parents; we are God’s spirit children. Therefore, we have a vast capacity for love it is part of our spiritual heritage. What and how we love not only defines us as individuals; it also defines us as a church. Love is the defining characteristic of a disciple of Christ.
Since the beginning of time, love has been the source of both the highest bliss and the heaviest burdens. At the heart of misery from the days of Adam until today, you will find the love of wrong things. And at the heart of joy, you will find the love of good things."
