” So now O Israel, what does the Lord, your God require of you? Only to fear the Lord your God,to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with  all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and His decrees that I am commanding you today for your own well being.”

                                                                          -Deuteronomy 10: 12image 

I think that the most important words in this verse is “for your own well being.” Sometimes it is easy to look at everything that we can’t do as Christians, when God is really doing what is best for his children.
