I mean, what does He really want?
The other night when I was putting my kids to bed, I told my son (11yo), "Goodnight son, I love you." He replied, "Goodnight, I love you too. You're awesome."
I don't think I could describe how that felt if my life depended on it!
As I was falling asleep, it occurred to me that this is basically all God wants. True Christianity is not about religion; it's about relationship.
“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” [Jesus] said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
- Matthew 22:36-40
It can be so easy to forget, misunderstand, or be distracted from this; but, that really is it!
(Why not come see for yourself? 😀)
