I think I am going to spend my whole life figuring out and re figuring out what life is all about. I learn every day in a new way that life is about a relationship with God. But honestly that is to frightening. I want rules to live by. I am just no good at living in relationship. If I cannot keep my kids, my wife, myself happy; how am I going to keep God happy.
I know that I will never disappoint God because he already knows what I am like. To disappoint him, He would need to have some expectation that I would not meet. God already knows me so He knows all that I am not going to do and fail to do. So why am I bothered so much by the hurt I cause Him by not doing what I am not doing. I am not saving the world, healing all the sick, transforming central IL - so I am a __________.
How does God love those of us who labor so hard to be loved. How does He love those who don't care if you love them of not. How does He love any of us? Wonderfully, simply wonderfully. But that destroys my ability to earn the love of God. If you can't earn love, what good is it.
So here is my list of how I will significantly love God today. This is what I am going to do today to be loved.
