Just wanted to share a passage that I found really thought provoking hope you find it to be that way too.
I will love God because he first loved me. I will obey God because I love God. But if I can not accept God's love, I cannot love him in return , and I cannot obey him. Self dicipline will never make us feel righteous or clean; accepting God's love will.The ability to accept God's unconditional grace and ferocious love is all the fuel we need to obey him in return. Accepting God's kindness and free love is something the devil does not want us to do. If we hear, in our inner ear, a voice saying we are failures, we are losers, we will never amount to anything, this is the voice of Satan trying to convince the bride that the groom does not love her. That is not the voice of God. God woos us with kindness, He changes our character with the passion of His love.
The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still yield fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and very green. Psalm 92:12-15
