Slaves? Servants? Or children.

How did God manage to enslave us into doing His will? Answer. He didn’t. So why do we serve Him? Because we love Him. And why do we love Him? Because He loves us.
The world says that we who serve God simply don’t have the power to live on our own. That we aren’t strong enough to accept that it’s all up to us. But it has nothing to do with our inability to care for ourselves. It’s harder to serve someone else than it is to only serve Y O U. We are not slaves to God, doing His will under a lash. We are His beloved children. If a parents asks you to do something or to not do something, why do you listen? Okay. Yes. Some kids listen out of fear. But most kids who obey do it because they love their parents and want to make them happy. Why do they love their parents? Because their parents love them. They care for them and help them because their children are the most important things in the world to them. In return the children love and obey their parents because there’s a part of you that always says, I want to be worthy of this love they give. You don’t need to be worthy they don’t require you to be worthy, they simply love you, but when you love them back you want to do all you can to make them smile. We can never be worthy of God’s love. But we can love Him back and show Him that we care for Him by serving Him, obeying Him, and honoring Him.
