Loving Krishna is undoubtedly the best thing one can do.
“The only way you can conquer me is through love and there I am gladly conquered" - Bhagavad Gita
Yes it's acceptable by Krishna. But it's not that easy to do. Loving Krishna means serving Krishna, offering sacrifices to Krishna. Lord Krishna is very difficult to worship.
"Because I am difficult to worship, people generally avoid Me and instead worship other deities, who are quickly satisfied. When people receive kingly opulences from these deities, they become arrogant, intoxicated with pride and neglectful of their duties. They dare to offend even the demigods who have bestowed benedictions upon them" - Srimad Bhagavatam
He perfectly knows the depth of our devotion and love. Intentions of our heart is crystal clear to him. Accordingly he will give us some experiences in our life, very hard experiments I must say, not to test our faith. He give us hard times only to purify our heart. Even if our approach to him is wrong he will give thousands of chances to correct our mistakes. The chances to destroy our ego, lust, greed, pride and material attachment.
"The Personality of Godhead said: If I especially favour someone, I gradually deprive him of his wealth. Then the relatives and friends of such a poverty-stricken man abandon him. In this way, he suffers one distress after another.
When he becomes frustrated in his attempts to make money and instead befriends My devotees, I bestow My special mercy upon him."
Take those chances to let our god come to us.This is how he will respond to us. This is his special mercy on us. Don't give up completely surrender to him. Crave for him even in the slightest darkness of an eye blink. Pray for his love, pray for his protection. Even if you can't love him like Radha, even if you can't worship him like Meera.. Even if you can't serve him like Rukmini.. Even if you can't crave for him like sathyabhama.. Love him with the whole of your heart.. He is said to be the eternal husband to every soul. Thus it's our right to love him.
Continue your journey in the path of love. You just cant reach to the top on a sudden. Abandoning all material attachments at one go is not possible. Slowly when love grows, your sacrifices are offering to your love. When your love conquers you, you wont suffer.. you blossom. When Krishna makes a foot print in your heart every living cell of yours will praise only his name. Your heart beats will chant only his name. Your chances of purification depends on depth of your love for Krishna. Hope he will make a way for you. And for me too.
