Those Who Obey God Belong To Him

Hey, just wanna share something from my QT. its a new perspective that i've learnt. and something that applies to me- alot.Bible verses:
Mark 4: 13-20 (A story about planting seed)
In an obedient heart there is a way prepared for God. There are many Christians who always seek pleasure and satisfaction for themselves. These have not yet learned that only obedient children are happy children. That which in truth brings abiding happiness is nothing else than obedience towards God.
Why have so many of God's lamb so little assurance of salvation? Why are their souls not satisfied with the peace of God? God gives that answer in Isaiah 48:18.
It is not faith which is lacking, for even with a trembling hand one can receive costly gifts. It is rather obedience which is lacking. There is something in their lives that they will not let go, which hinders the Holy Spirit from giving them the assurance that they are God's children.
No one who is disobedience to God can have confidence in Him. Confidence is a result of obedience.
