Obedience

I've been doing a Bible study called Seeking Him Experiencing the Joy of Personal Revival by Nancy Leigh DeMoss and Tim Grisson. It's truly been reviving my soul.

I just loved this excerpt on obedience:

"God loves His children. He knows that we cannot fully experience and enjoy His love unless we are obedient to Him. Obeying God is not meant to be a sterile, cold requirement; rather, it is a willing, glad- hearted response to One who loves us extravagantly and has our best interests at heart. God does not stand by at a distance, demanding our obedience. Rather, He blesses us by allowing us to be a part of accomplishing His purposes. He calls us to surrender, invites us to follow, empowers us to serve, and then blesses our obedience."

What I'm thinking on:
"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." John 14:15
May I be a woman of joyful obedience!
