Humility builds up love

Psalm 25:6-7
Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
Remember, not the sinsof my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O Lord.

Loving God is not only a slogan, but an action, "love" is a verb. Love must be in action. Love is unconditional. A wealthy young man came to Jesus & asked for the way to eternity. (Mark 10) In reply, Jesus answered him, to sell out all his wealth and to follow HIM despite that he has pursued all the 10 Commandments. But the man went away in misery.

The 10 Commandments - I didn't comply with before conversion nor even was aware of them. Luckily, my Lord sees my repentance and brokenness. He comforted me with HIS words and promise and his Laws.

Vivian & I read this Psalm verse by verse. I noted that the following message appears four times out of 22 verses. Really impressive.
The LORD will instruct the one who fear HIM in the way chosen for him.
Psalm 25:4, 8, 12, 14. The last 2 strike me a lot:
Who is theman that fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him. (Psalm 25:12)
The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant know to them.
(Psalm 25:14)

With Lord, we fear nothing because HE has led me the way. But how to listen to Lord's words?

James 4:6 & 4:8 are my conviction and my way.
