Do we need God for Morality? [Spirituality & Religion]

Obviously the secular answer is a resounding NO.
But if you're a theist who says "yes", i want to hear your reasoning.

I have one more thing to say about morality! Morality is for me absolute! For others not!
I pray and I take all my instruction from God! To me that is moral! I was saved as a child and my mom thought I was stupid for loving God! She would mock me spit in my face ignore me. Turn siblings against me and even hit me. God says to honor our parents, so I turned the other cheek as Jesus tells us to do. I have loved her and helped her with everything.
Because I know pain I have dedicated my life to help others who are hurting!
When my husband left I seeked Gods advise what to do if I should marry or stay single! It says whoever marries a divorced woman committs adultery. So I decided to dedicate my life to my kids and my job! I have gotten many proposals throughout the years but I am committed to God and stay single. I had some weak moments after the divorce and dated some but I am committed to God primarily. One Godly man wanted to buy me a house and picked it out but I refused it because I thought it to be immoral for me to take such a gift and not marry him. I have crucified the flesh my entire life!
The world has one standard and it is to be happy, but Gods standards is to please him and obey. And it gives me great joy! I have peace that all is well with my soul!

Amen, sister. I'm heartily sorry your mother and siblings treated you that way. I hope they get saved someday and see the truth.
@GodSpeed63 Do you read and follow every word of the bible?

@Carazaa Morality for you is absolute? Would you steal food to help feed a starving baby?

@Entwistle yes!
@Carazaa

You sound like a very principled person, carazaa. Congratulations.
