Is there a formula for happiness or contentment? In spiritual terms, the secret is in loving God. Jan McCray explains what love for God means and how our daily response to him--through obedience--produces freedom and fulfillment.
"Obedience to God is not burdensome," says McCray, "but an avenue of oneness with our Savior." When we seek to please God, it encourages us toward greater commitment and consecration to him. Though obedience is often mistakenly associated with obligation, McCray points out that it is really linked to intimacy in relationship with the heart of our heavenly Father.
