Why do you Love God?

I would like to know from people's heart - why do you love God. Something which comes naturally from your heart. No scripture quotes! If you don't love God...no problem...then just don't write anything.

This thread is not about defining what is God or God's attributes, just plain simple heart-felt thoughts from you.

I love the formless and eternal creative force who abides within all of creation because I have never felt abandoned in any moment of life. Everything in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is true.

I would like to love the timeless one, but at present I suppose its early days, we are just getting to know each other, I would like one day to love the timeless one as I love my wife or my mother and father,

Vaheguru / Rabb / God - is the only real rishta ( relationship ) we have, that's the reason i love Vaheguru. Everything else is false..........

I love God because contemplating It brings me a sense of wonder and joy in times of comfort...and peace in stressful times.

What RamanS ji said!

Harry ji: I find that although I don't understand yet, the love is still there. It is for love that I try to understand. Perhaps you already do love deep on the inside and it's about realising that love more than establishing a relationship?

Ishnabhenji,

Here is where we have a slight problem, in 20 years time, if someone were to tell me where I went wrong 20 years ago, it would have been to continue on the path of manmukh. So the truth is that I will find what I have been looking for in the pursuit of drink, drugs, women, in the creator. Now this I accept as absolute truth. I would go further, I am a slave to this truth, as I would rather be a slave to the truth than a slave to lust.

To that end, the Guru can have my head anytime he wants, as he is correct in everything that he has said. I respect that, I have enslaved myself to it, but loving it is hard for me, for many years there was much sewa, but none of it was done with love, all out of responsibility, and the desire to do the right thing, the truth is , although I have the spirit of the creator inside me, it is dwarfed by the spirit in you, I have just enough to keep me going on this path, to counter all the self hate and despisement that has built up over the years, I hope given time, this will subside and the feelings of love for the self, and then ultimately the creator can begin

I love God for no reason at all.
I mean I love God for too many reasons.
I wish I could start somewhere!
I know I will get down to it.

What an interesting question. I don't know. I think I love God in the same way the arm or leg loves the body... It can not do otherwise but to belong and work as a part of the whole - that is its nature. We are all a part of God, and the essence of God flows within us.
