Alone, deserted, living in a cave-How would you show God your love for Him?

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!!
    WOW!!!! What an awesome GOD we serve!!!  The hymn Precious Lord in on my other blog.  To read it click on PRECIOUS LORD.
  Last night at Bible study pastor asked us an open and honest question: "How do you show you love God?"  And of course there was a variety of answers, then he asked this next question which I would ask you to read, then stop and ponder for a moment:  "If you were in a cave, absolutely no one around, just you---how would you show God you loved him?"
   Just think about this for a moment.  No one around you cannot share the word, prayer with people, preach or teach the word, work in the church, so.........how would you show your love for HIM?!?!
   After the variety of answers he said, go to I Corinthians.  Oh....yeah.....we all know the love chapter.  Yes, but look at this: If you were alone, just you and God in a cave how would you show love to HIM:
4 Love is very patient and kind,----can you wait on the LORD, stop, listen, and be patient?
 never jealous or envious,----not wanting what God has, but to admire God for who HE is
never boastful or proud,----being humble as you walk and talk with the LORD
  never haughty or selfish or rude.----wanting only what God wants, not about yourself
Love does not demand its own way.----we don't tell God how and what to do, but be obedient
It is not irritable or touchy.----we don't allow things to bother us as we are talking and waiting on the LORD
 It does not hold grudges----not being mad about where you are and angry at God
 and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong.----oh, this is a tough one for all of us who like control, God does not do it wrong, just not how "I" want it, wow!
  It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out.----Enjoy the honesty and truthfulness, not revenge
  7 If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost.----Here is another tough one, being loyal, against any adversity that comes your way...be loyal to God.
 You will always believe in him,----look up to God, don't let satan cast doubt
 always expect the best of him,----know that God gives you His best, you should give your best
 and always stand your ground in defending him.----stand strong in your faith and don't crawfish (run backwards) when someone questions or speaks against the one true living God.
     Now what you have read is my interpretation of what pastor said, you may have your own; but, how would you show God your love if you were alone, deserted, in a cave, just you and GOD? Love you all. 
In Christ's Love and Grace
