We love God, we obey him, because of His great love for us. Hmmm.

Would it not be healthier to seek to grow up for "the laws" are written upon our hearts. Growing up equating to not following but becoming leaders... We are not obeying anything - but now doing what is our VERY nature to do - and if it is not - to seek understanding as to why it is not so - as to grow up so to speak spiritually?
