performing for who?

Today on facebook a cool guy posted a link about a book that discusses our quiet times with God.  It talked about how we may associate God's love and grace for us based on if we participated in our daily quiet times with God or not.  This is super false but is actually one of the ways I feel sometimes.  While God doesn't punish us when we don't spend as much time with him, it is so true that I don't feel as motivated or positive about my own life.  Anyway, the link had this great little thought that went like this, "So what, then, does Scripture command? It commands that the Word of God be constantly upon your heart. You are to pray, to read the Scripture and to meditate upon it, but you are to do so from a joyful desire, and not mere performance-based duty. You are to do so throughout your whole life, and not merely for a few minutes each morning. Like Johnson, you will come to realize that the 'goal isn’t that we pray and read the Bible less, but that we do so more—and with a free and needy heart.'”  This is something that I definitely need to work on, but that I have already seen improve in me.  I hope that God continues to make me crave his word everyday and want to live and spend every day with him!
