(Deuteronomy 10:12,13) And now [God’s people], what does the Lord your God require of you, but to (1) fear the Lord your God, (2) to walk in His ways, (3) to love Him, (4) to serve the Lord your God with all your heart (5) and with all your soul, and (6) to keep the commandments and (7) statutes of the Lord...”

Fear prompts us to retreat (fight, flight, or freeze), but to walk toward fear is to walk with courage. This walk leads to loving God, to moving eagerly, longingly as close to Him as possible. The natural consequence is to serve—to labor with all our hearts and psychological existence, wishing only to quench His thirsts and satisfy His hunger. Next, this intimate relationship with God compels us to humbly inspect our ways that we obey all of His assignments and heart-tugs.
A
Love is how I fulfill this command. God’s whole law is fulfilled in the single word, love (Galatians 5:14). Furthermore, God Himself is working in us to make this a joyful, co-created adventure.
PLord, knowing that You deeply love me, I find no valid reason for not fully entrusting and yielding my entire self to you...delightfully.
