Status Updates From One with My Lord: The Life-...

“Our blessing of God is grounded in God’s blessing of us. But we must not think that this is some sort of transactional arrangement, as though we bless God so that he blesses us, our praise of him simply feeding coins into the meter so that we can remain parked in his favor. No, we praise God for the very way he is. Praising him is something we get to do; it is the reward, not the fee.”
