The love for God

I sometimes wonder if we really loved God? or it was just I love God because God gives. We all go to temples mosques, churches seeking solace and blessings from God, but what did you give to God? A pack of sweets? some beautifully designed flowers? Is that all? Think about it, you're visiting a persons house who is a potter by profession and would you ever think of gifting him a pot which you bought from his store? You're gifting back the same thing which he has made himself. The same applies to God as well. God doesn't need flowers to make him happy. May be putting flowers on the God/ Goddess makes the idol look beautiful, but nothing more than that. What God actually wants is your heart. When I say heart, what exactly from your heart does it want? Whatever my opinions are may vary with yours but I feel, a complete "samarpan" is what is meant by giving your heart. "Samarpan" means submission, submission means you agree and accept that everything that happens to you is God's wish. But when by heart we start thinking about it, do we really mean it? That I have given my entire heart to God? Everything? Think about it, after visiting the temple and saying to God that my entire heart is yours God, whatever happens is your wish. You reach home and you find that your son is back home and he has failed in his exams and he will be detained by an year. Will you keep your patience thinking whatever happens is God's wish? Will you not beat him? Think about it... We never would, instead we might land up cursing God, saying I prayed so much to you and is this the day that you wanted me to see? Its hence proved that we didn't give our bit to God. We never will rather. We're selfish creatures and just think about the benefits of this body and the objects to which we are attached to.
