We love so many things that push us far away from God. And often when God asks us to give them up, we say: Lord anything else but this thing. I love this too much.
It's like saying: Lord I love alcohol, drugs, porn, food, abusive language etc more than I love you.
"What a weakness it is to love Jesus Christ only when He caresses us, and to be cold immediately once He afflicts us. This is not true love. Those who love thus, love themselves too much to love God with all their heart." (St. Margaret Mary Alacoque)
Abraham's loved His son dearly. Yet when God asked Him to sacrifice his son up, he readily agreed.
He agreed because He loved God above everything else.
Do we love God above everything else in our life?
