Reflections Along the Jesus Way
November 26, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“Accepting God’s love makes all the difference – all the difference between a stale, mechanical, going-through-the-motions relationship with a religious institution, and an up-close-and-personal intimate relationship with God. Accepting God’s love is connecting with God. Connecting with God usually means we must lose our religion – we must unplug from religion in order to connect with God.
God loves us because of who he is, never because of who we are or what we do. I believe God’s message to you and me goes something like this:
‘I know all about you – but I love you anyway. You’re thinking that I might start loving you if you can just start doing all the stuff you should be doing. Get over that kind of thinking! Get with my program. Lose your religion! Do you really think that you are ever going to be capable of earning my love? Please – you have grossly underestimated my love if you think you can pay for my favor. The depth and intensity of my love is far beyond any of your attempts to earn it.’”
