God:
You do understand that nothing you do will make me love you more—I already love you with an unsurpassing love.
Me:
Right. I know that.
God:
But I want you to carry these two Scriptures in mind: “continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12 NIV) and “whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (Colossians 3:23-24).
Me:
Not to earn your love, but out of your love. A payback to the One who is worthy.
