Often we may hear/see people doing inappropriate things, we might be one of those people. When we are reminded about these things, we may say that Allah (subana wata'ala) will forgive us, because He loves us. That may very well be so, but being forgiven of persistant transgressions shows the love and mercy that He has for us, not the love we have for Him. If we love Allah(subhan wata'ala) we will not continue to do that which is forbidden in hopes of forgiveness. But rather we would strive to avoid anything and everything which He dislikes.
I wish I had the exact narration, but it was something like this: a man was praying in the masjid very hurriedly, and then prayed to Allah (Swt) for jannah. Umar (ra) saw him, and said, "with that?"
It made it think more carefully about my salaah. Why don't we dedicate more time and sincerity to it, when we know that it will weigh heavy on our scales of good or bad deeds?
May Allah (subhana wata'ala) make us of those who love Him, and whom He loves.
