I am so excited to be able to be used by God as a witness to others that may need a word from God, a prayer, a hug. All God wants from me is to love Him and to tell of His love, to everyone. Not a hard 'job', is it?

Yes it is an extremely difficult "job"... if its not difficult your not doing it correctly... just read some of the persecution from non-Christians on this very site...

Except not everyone is interested in being prosyletized. Not everyone wants to be hugged and not everyone needs prayer.
But honestly I'm happy you're happy.
Just don't be too pushy about it and try converting everyone. That's a real turnoff. People will mostly just see you as crazy if you try making a job out this.

Actually, spreading the word of God could well be the most difficult job you ever have. Why? Because your actions must match your words. You must live the word of God as well as spread it.

It seems harder than most people are willing to undertake, including me, sad to say. We spend, or waste, so much of our time on our job / career to earn money, or our time at a health club to be more physically fit, or at some "learning institution" so as to become smarter, but we totally abandon our spiritual health. I sometimes feel I ask God too much for forgiveness for not doing His job, even though I know He's a Forgiving God, but I couldn't fault Him if, on Judgement Day He asks me to forgive Him for not letting me in Heaven. I do pray He's more merciful than that. God Bless you for reminding me of my job, and of my Forgiving and Merciful God, Jesus our Christ.

God loves you desperately. He created you, then lost you, and then gave His life to get you back. He wants to hold you in His arms, comfort you, give you strength, listen to you, advise you, take care of your needs, heal you, and protect you. He wants to bring you home to heaven where He can live with you for eternity and lavish His wonderful gifts on you.
Why wouldn't you want to tell others about this? We have to share. Selfish people don't get to go!

No - as long as the love isn't a delusional ego love that convinces us that god is judgmental, punishing, believes in sin, guilt, and hell, and requires us to convert the masses.

You got it! - it's wonderful and beautiful and oh so simple.
Quotes from Mother Teresa and lessons to live by:
"Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don't only give your care, but give your heart as well."
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
God bless you. :)

I have no idea what you are talking about or even preaching. You sound like you are on drugs... but you are seriously high on God.

He also requires obedience by faith. That really shows love.
