Love is Key. Period.

In His great love, God has already saved me. Jesus has already broken the chains of sin and rescued me from its terrible sting and slavery. I've already been set free. I've accepted Christ and I believe He is who He says He is and He can do what He says He can do. God already loves me with unconditional love and NOTHING can separate me from that love... not even me. And nothing I do can make Him love me more or less than He already does. Praying, doing devotions, and spending time with God, then, are not things I should do for my benefit. I shouldn't do them because I feel obliged to or because I have to maintain God's love for me and make myself worth His while. He already saved me. He already loves me. I have already captured His heart. So, then, anything I do for Him and any time I spend with Him should only be out of my own love for Him. It is to maintain my relationship with Him, not His love for me, and to outwardly express my love for Him... I should devote time to God because I love Him. In the end, it's all about love. His love for me and my love for Him. Love is the key. And why do I love Him? Because He is God. Period.
