Bakhya Ibn-Pakuda

Well first of all, why did it have to be a girl who devotes everything to God in the first paragraph? Why not a guy? And I don't like where it says "devoting herself entirely to him, loving him, and trusting him completely. Every action she performs is for his sake. Every thought she has is of him.." And he keeps going. I think God gave us the ability to have our own thoughts and make mistakes so we can do so. If He wanted to be so selfish and have everyone do everything in honor of Him everyday and every minute, then He wouldn't have given us the ability to do otherwise. I don't mean that we shouldn't think about Him or thank Him everyday, but I don't think that he meant for every moment of our lives to be devoted to Him, maybe the ideas he taught so we can do good in the world for other people. So I guess in that way we could be doing things in honor of Him. I just think he'd be happier if we were out doing something like feeding or clothing the needy while thinking of Him, instead of spending all of our time in a church praying to Him.
