God never designed for you and I just to lavish our love upon Him without mutual reciprocity. On the contrary, He takes notes on every lovely thing that is done. He holds them up and looks at them intently. An then analyzes how He can multiply back to you all the wonderful love that you have showered upon Him. This is part of “His Happy Place.” Get the picture of God holding you up in the air looking you over then hugging you up so tight because of your great love towards Him.
Malachi 3:16-18
16Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
