Love Him

Why do you obey God?
What motivates you to obey?
Why are you 'good'?
Why do you really live a godly life?
Is it because you love Jesus or because you love using the gifts and talents He gave you?
If you weren't able to to serve God with your gifts and talents, would you still obey Him?
Would you continue to have devotions and obey Christ if you couldn't write, create, or perform?
Do you love performing, writing, or creating for Christ more than you love Christ?

(quoted from Rory Noland's The Heart of the Artist)

"Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves Me."
[ John 14:21 ]
