If God was not as loving and wonderful as He is, I would probably still try to please Him, because it is my nature to try and please. A beggar at heart, I would approach even a dour God as my only hope and serve Him with all of my heart.
However, He is not a dour God. He loves, He favors, he also judges and chastens. I don't know why God is so good to me, but I know that knowing who He is changes the way I respond to Him. I do not have to fear. I am lifted beyond childish attempts to curry favor to experience the breadth of a personality and a goodness I cannot comprehend but will never cease to amaze me.
