Christians only: Do you ever feel as though God is indifferent to your good works? Why would this be false? (Christians only please.)

It doesnt matter whether God is indifferent to your works or not, as being a Christian isn't about that, neither can you become a Christian through doing good works. However, good works should follow naturally after becoming a Christian because you are following Gods 10 Commandments :)

I appreciate your point, but the 10 Commandments obligate you the Law of Moses, not Christ. Please re-read the book of Galatians in the New Testament. Paul also explains that none of us has kept/could keep the Law perfectly (read Romans chapters 1-8).

Also, the Ten Commandments, in relation to good works towards others, is more a list of what "not to do" - not what to do. Personally in relation to others, I prefer "Love thyour neighbour as yourself"; and the fruits of the Spirit: "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." I enjoy putting a smile on customers' faces. I love to share a laugh with them. I love to see people who are happy. Of course, if I can, I try to help sad people feel a little happier. I guess for me, "patience" is very much something I need to work on in my life. Hm, God being indifferent? If I do something here on Earth in order to receive praise or glory of some sort; then it negates the whole concept of God making a quiet note of it "up there".

Peace and (my loving) God be with you :-)
