In a garden somewhere in Europe, next to a beautiful flower bed, there was a sign, written in three languages:
In German: Picking flowers is prohibited.
In English: Please do not pick the flowers.
In French: Those who love flowers will not pick them.
What is your motivation for doing God's will, obeying God's commands?
Fear of authority?
Sense of society's expectations?
Or love?
