God entered into our world to live, die, be buried and raised up again to bring us
back in relationship with Him, so we could live the way He created us to
originally live. In this relationship, is
a safe place for God to show you how you are relating.
Oh I don’t
think any of us relate well all the time, and we all have much to learn to be
more like Jesus; but I think some of us have some very unhealthy ways of
relating to others. Jesus summed up all
the commandments this way; “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind,
body and soul and love your neighbor as yourself.”
Loving God
is that intimacy with Him, the source of life itself. Loving others is that mission we have here on this earth, to work with God to
reflect Him everywhere and loving ourselves is the joy of the journey.
God cares
about relationship, thus He cares about how we relate. For those of us that might have been treated
with shame and motivated by fear, these 2 emotions may have become a constant state for us.
But there is freedom and God is that
safe haven where we can learn to relate well and be more like Jesus.
Let us ask God to release us today and show us practically how He wants us to work with Him so we can be everything He created us to be; live to our full potential in Him.
