Loving God

I often try to pray according to the ACTS model: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication.  There is never any lack of things to confess, thank or ask for, but I often struggle with how to adore God.  I start, and I usually just end up thanking him for specific things (which is not that bad).  Then this morning I realized that I do not often tell God that I love him.  It was a revelation to me.  I tell all my family that I love them.  Why shouldn't I tell me Heavenly Father that I love him?  After all, this is the truth: I love God.
