This morning I am reading Psalm 84. This is a love poem/song, and the language is incredible. There is no doubt of the psalmist' love for God as he begins by writing of his longing to be in the presence of God. Do we follow Jesus simply so that we will receive the reward of eternal life? Do we serve Him for some blessing He might bestow on us? Do we fear God because we will be judged unworthy and thrown in a pit of fire? If our answer to any of these questions is yes, then our faith is an illusion, and God’s love for us is truly undeserved.
