… God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. — Acts 3:26b
Turning from sin and self-centeredness is a blessing to me not God. Prayer is my privilege.
God allows me (us) to enjoy Him, to worship Him, to do the right and moral thing — not because it makes His life easier but because it benefits me (us).
What a blessing to enjoy Him, to bask in His love, to walk in His fellowship, to know His people, to do things that have lasting value, to have an eternal home.
