Worshiping God is not about making us happy.

It’s about glorifying HIM.

The whole emphasis of her comments is on the wrong person.

God doesn’t want our worship, God wants our obedience.

I see the relationship with God much like the relationship between a parent and their children.

I tell my children what they should do, and what they should not do.

I do this out of love so that they can live happier, healthier, wealthier, longer, more fullfilled lives.

If they listen to what I tell them, it will make me happy because they they are happy.

Thus it is with God.
