God tells us to love him with all of our hearts, mind, soul, and body, but the truth is that we don't have to. We can choose the other path. The other path is not so great. The other path is full of suffering and bad things. God's path is full of God things. God wants the best for us. We should choose Him, but again, we don't have to, but it would be wise to choose Him. The truth is, God is a father and yes, He is a jealous father and a jealous god. Yes, He does want His own way, but that does work out for our owh benefit. He is jealous for our own sake. He loves you so much that He wants you to be His, because He wants the best for us. He doesn't want us to fall in Satan's hands. Satan wants to hurt us and Satan hates us even if we do follow him. God wants us badly. Look in Isaiah and Jeremiah, you cna see this! You can see God in all of the scriptures, He wants the best for us. He wants us. It's all about Him wanting the best for us. People, He loves us! This is a real, loving god. Choose wisely. Do not go to gods of wood and stone. God wants to take care of us in a loving manner. This is a real god. Do not choose otherwise.
