'Isaac, do you love Daddy?' Sze asked looking into Isaac's eyes.
'YEH!', Isaac responded enthusiastically aloud! (Isaac can't pronounce 's' very well at the moment, so his 'yes' often turns out to be 'yeh'!)
'Isaac, do you love Mummy?' Sze asked, her eyes still gazing into Isaac's.
'YEH!' Isaac responded once again, this time noddng his head too!!
We know that Isaac is sincere when he responds to things like that, 'cos if we follow up by asking him 'Isaac, do u want to have your hair cut?' Isaac will immediately respond by shaking his head violently! He can differentiate between a 'yes' and a 'no'.
I thought to myself:
Sometimes, when we sense God asking us whether we love Him, we might hesitate and be a little 'cautious', knowing that after we say 'yes' to Him, we might still be tempted and fall into sin. So we hesistate to respond to Him...
But the fact of the matter is that what He desires is our true worship....if at that moment we really love Him with all our Heart and Mind and Soul, and continue to work towards holiness for Him, we shouldn't hesitate and should instead just respond to Him with a resounding 'yeh'...just like little Isaac!
We are well aware that whilst little Isaac may say 'yeh' to us at the moment, we know that he would inevitably be his mischievous self again a few moments later and do all the little forbidden things. However, does that make us less appreciative of that resounding 'YEH' from him when we ask if he loves us? NO!! Our hearts continue to beat with Joy when we hear that....
God too continues to delight in us when we worship Him with all we have, even though He knows that we are not perfect...
So go on, and give God our 'YEH' today!!
I love you God, YEH! :)

"ONE THING I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple." Psalm 27:4
