Sleep Peacefully!
When you choose to love God, the obedience and the service fall into place. You honor His commandments because your love for Him keeps you from falling into sin.
If I asked you to give God 100 percent, would you immediately think I meant money? Well, don't worry; this question really isn't about money; it's about you. All of you: heart, mind, soul and strength.

Once a small boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles and the girl had some sweets with her.
The boy told the girl, "I will give you all my marbles in exchange for your sweets." The girl agreed.
The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marbles aside and gave the rest to the girl but the girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.
That night, the girl slept peacefully, but the boy could not sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marbles from her.

Moral of the story:
If you don’t give hundred percent in a relationship, you will always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.
This is applicable for any relationship like: love, friendship, employer-employee relationship, etc.
So, how do you do this 100 percent thing, 100 percent of the time? Well, there's no easy formula. But it begins with a choice. Choose to love God – for who He is and what He's done for you.
Then start asking, "How can I show God I love Him? If I love God, what other choices do I make?" Remember, He'll help you. So, make sure you ask God to show you each day how to give Him more and more of yourself.
Jesus underscored this: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."- Matthew 22:3. That's definitely 100 percent!
So let’s make it a point to give our hundred percent to everything we do and sleep peacefully.
Stay Blessed!
