'There's no end to the publishing of books, and constant study wears you out so you're no good for anything else. The final word is this: Fear God. Do what He tells you.' (Ecclesiastes 12.12-13)
'You have your heads in your Bibles constantly because you think you'll find eternal life there. But you miss the forest for the trees. There Scriptures are all about me! And here I am, standing right before you, and you aren't willing to receive from me the life you say you want' (Jesus speaking, John 5.39-40 Message version).
Many things are easier said (or read) than done. We read that we should love God, and love others. But it's not easy! We can listen to many sermons and read many books about relationships and God, but it's useless unless we put it into practice.
In our everyday lives, there are opportunities to love others (especially our own family or people we come in contact with daily/weekly). However, we can held back by our laziness, ignorance or insecurities, and not be a loving person as a result. To love others, we need to receive Jesus first of all. Then everyday after that, to depend on Him to fill our hearts with His love, since God is the source and inspiration.
