Relishing. Thoughts for a Saturday morning.

"Relishing the gracious provision God has made for us despite our sin and inability stimulates true humility, gratitude, sacrifice, obedience, and praise. We live to honor God in response to the love he has shown us, more than living for the sake of earthly priorities. Heaven's priorities become our own because expressing love for the One who first loved us becomes our greatest delight and deepest satisfaction. We pursue holiness in loving response to the heavenly Father who has been so gracious to us, not to bribe a divine ogre in the sky to be favorable to us."
