When we got saved, our relationship to God which was severed by sin was restored. Jesus did the restoration, but it’s up to us to nurture that relationship. God would have us to have a very close relationship with Him. Don’t let God to just be a go-to when you need something.
It takes a generous heart to give to beggars. Why would I give somebody whom I don’t even know, the money that I worked hard for? However, it’s very easy to give that to whom I love dearly. Our un/willingness to sacrifice our resources for God reveals our love towards Him.

I hate to have a young lady in love to have greater longing to the man she loves than I have for Jesus. A person who’s in love thinks of that person whole day. He takes every opportunity to be with her. He caters to her wants above his. How much do you desire God?
Results should not solely determine why we do things. I believe that even only one out of a hundred would be faithful to church, I still should be faithful to preach the Gospel and helping them to grow spiritually. Never mind the results. Just keep doing right!
I love the free will that God gave to man. Maybe there were times where He wanted to stop you from doing something knowing it will hurt you, but it’s against His character. God is not preventing you to do anything. Go have fun all you want, but you will reap whatever you’ll sow.
