Whether we realize it or not, we … have a choice. We can choose to amplify those things that represent God’s love or focus on those things that may make us feel good but do not focus God.

Joy, singing, praise and worship is called for as we enter the Lord's presence and give thanks for all He's done

The question is what does God want? Does He want us to follow His laws as part of transformation or to continually build on our relationship even as He knows and understands our flaws?
