" But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Heb.11:6)
Emphasy is 'here' placed on diligently seeking God.
Seeking, not as of searching for what you don't have, but in context, cultivating fellowship with Him who has found you.
To love God is to seek Him, and is to do it diligently - in ceaseless prayer and constant meditation in His word.
At the very foundation of our love for God lies communion with Him. Whoever you don't have time for or spend time with, you don't really love. Whatever you are preoccupied with that's making you too busy to spend time with God is what you love more than God.
You couldn't come near the saints of yester years and not feel the heat of their desire after God - they tarried with God in solitude, day and night, in and out of season; their hearts were filled with torrent of burning desire after God. What an example!
I recommend the cultivation of this mighty longing after God, for the believer's soul is originally designed by God to be ablaze for Him ...to love and serve Him!
