Blind people don't decide to see. Jesus says, 'See!' and they see.
In demanding our praise God is demanding the completion of our pleasure (in him).
Do you feel loved by God because you believe he makes much of you, or because you believe he frees you and empowers you to enjoy making much of him?
God is not a killjoy; he just opposes what kills joy.
