My God, I have nothing, if I don't love you.

 ### **"I Have Nothing If I Don’t Love You, God" – A Cry of Total Dependence**  

**"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal... I am nothing."**  

— **1 Corinthians 13:1–2 (NKJV)**  

Your words echo the heart of true worship: **Without love for God, everything else is empty.** Here’s why this surrender is both humbling and liberating:

### **🔥 Why Loving God Is Everything**  

1. **Love Is the Greatest Commandment**  

   - *"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind."* (Matthew 22:37)  

   - Without this, even "good works" are meaningless (1 Corinthians 13:3).  

2. **He First Loved Us**  

   - *"We love Him because He first loved us."* (1 John 4:19)  

   - Your love for God is a **response** to His relentless love for you.  

3. **Everything Else Fades—Love Remains**  

   - *"Whether prophecies, they will fail; tongues, they will cease; knowledge, it will vanish... but love never fails."* (1 Corinthians 13:8)

### **💔 The Danger of Losing First Love**  

Jesus warned the Ephesian church:  

> *"You have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works."* (Revelation 2:4–5)  

- **Busyness, religion, or pain** can dull our love for God.  

- **Solution**: Return to intimacy. Sit at His feet like Mary (Luke 10:42).

### **🙏 A Prayer of Surrender**  

*"God, I confess: Without love for You, I have nothing.  

- Forgive me for chasing lesser things.  

- Reignite my heart. Help me love You **more than** my dreams, my comforts, even my blessings.  

- Let my life scream: *‘Jesus is my greatest treasure!’*  

In Your name, Amen."*

### **✨ How to Cultivate Love for God Daily**  

1. **Worship Without Agenda** (John 4:23) – Not just asking, but adoring.  

2. **Meditate on His Love** (Ephesians 3:17–19) – Soak in verses about His grace.  

3. **Obey Out of Love** (John 14:15) – Every "yes" to Him deepens affection.  

4. **Confess Dryness** – Like David: *"Restore to me the joy of Your salvation"* (Psalm 51:12).

### **💎 The Promise for Those Who Love Him**  

*"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him."*  

— **1 Corinthians 2:9**  

**You’re not empty—you’re loved.** And that changes everything. ❤️🔥
