I believe on this. God is good. I have a many testimonies on how God has helped me and provided my needs. I have strong faith in Him. He has answered my prayers. He has given me trials and challenges which seem for me beyond I could go through or overcome. But God has helped me. He has given me the comfort and success which I now have had. I am so thankful for Him and for my family and others who have supported me in times of distress, in times of trouble.

It is always a struggle for us, Christians, to seek God first in our lives. We always have the tendencies to put ourselves, our own desires, first. And worst, we sometimes want to be more than God just like how Lucifer, Adam and Eve sinned against God. It is really difficult to always put God first in our lives, but if we keep on meditating/hearing His Words, nothing is impossible. God will enable us through the Holy Spirit to overcome temptations and even our own worldy desires.

I beg to disagree when you said that to love is to desire to do good. I would rather improve it that to love is to do good. There is a difference between a desire and doing good. It is the indirect way of expressing love. By doing speaks an action and action requires another action.

1 John 4:7-8
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is [a]born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”

Man’s love will always fail but God’s love will never fail us. If Jesus is in our hearts, He will teach us how to love others the way He loves us.
