Exodus 20

Exodus 20 simply is a way to show us how much He loves us.  The true love of God was for Him to give us boundaries that we would abide by.  It was God's way of showing us practical holiness.  It seems we approach the 10 commandments with a bit of negativity, but it really is amazing what God is doing with the Israelites here.  See, God does want us to enjoy Him and to enjoy life and thus to help us achieve that, He gave us truths that we need to embrace.  May we approach the 10 commandments realizing full on that He loves us.
