Dad's Ramblings -- "Do I Gotta?"

"My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you."
 
                                               Proverbs 3:1-2
 
"Do I gotta do it?" When I was a kid and my mom and dad told me to do something that I didn't want to do, I got angry. There was no peace in my heart when I obeyed since I did it only because they were the boss, not because I wanted to. When I do what is right because I "gotta," there is no joy or peace. But obeying God from the heart brings peace.
 
Today's Thought: Peace belongs to those who do what is right from the heart.
 
Have a peaceful day. Love you.
