Fall in Love with You

How’s that for a catchy title?Kabbalah has taught us about what God wants from us: to love Him with all our hearts, and to follow the laws He laid down for us.
That’s what God wants.
And we know He loves us … but we haven’t learned yet how to make Him love us with all His Heart. If we look at marriage, a place where two people are supposed to love each other with all their hearts, there are clues.
For instance, how many times have husbands heard their wives complain, “You don’t love me anymore.”
The most common response, given by 92% of husbands is, “How can you say that? Of course I love you.”
And to that, the most common response, given by 97% of wives is, “Well, why don’t you talk to me anymore?”
Therefore, one of the signs of great love is someone talking to us.
God is the same way. If you want to know who God loves with all His Heart, look at who He talks to. Who does God talk to?
Prophets.And how does God speak to prophets?
Answer, “If there shall be prophets among you, in a vision shall, I, God, make Myself known to him; in a dream shall I speak with him.” (Numbers 12:6)
Would a wife be satisfied hearing that from her husband – “Honey, I really do love you, and when I speak to you, it’s in my visions and dreams.”
I don’t think so.
God gives us further clues for the key to open His Heart: “My servant Moses, in my entire house, he is the trusted one. Mouth to mouth do I speak to him, in a clear vision and not in riddles, at the image of God does he gaze.” (Numbers 12:8)
Also, at the end of the Bible, in God’s parting words to us, there is a final clue, “Never again has there arisen a prophet like Moses, whom God had known face to face, as evidenced by all the signs and wonders that God sent him to perform.” (Deuteronomy 34:10)
Now that’s Love with a capital “L.” God spoke to Moses mouth to mouth, appeared to him face to face, and let him perform His work.
A wife would be satisfied with a husband like that, wouldn’t she – if he is present in the relationship, talks face to face with her, and helps out with the house work?
So if God admits that Moses is his most beloved prophet, what is the character trait that God prized in Moses?
Was it Moses’s silvery tongue, his gift of speech?
No, Moses had a speech impediment. He let his brother Aaron speak for him whenever he could.
Was it Moses’s good looks?Yes, Charlton Heston, on the left here, was a good-looking Moses, but he was a movie star. Nowhere does God brag about how handsome and buff his prophet Moses was.
There is only one clue, and it comes when Moses’s sister, Miriam, and his brother, Aaron, were gossiping about Moses’s wife (as only a sister and brother can.) God defends his love of Moses by saying, “Now the man Moses was exceedingly humble, more than any man on the face of the earth!” (Numbers 12:3)
So if you want the Ultimate prize here on Earth, for God to love you with all His Heart, you need to be humble.It doesn’t happen after you sink an eleven foot dunk shot, win the Miss Universe Contest, or become an Internet trillionaire.
God will fall in love with you, with all His Heart, if you are exceedingly humble.
How do you do that, you ask?
Stay tuned next week, when Kabbalah will give you the answer.
