The Lord is expanding on a theme I touched on in the last blog, when I talked about experiencing God's love for me, that it is totally unrelated to what I do. But I'm realizing that this is turning into the theme for the year, for our church, and for more than just us. I hear it on TV, and there are other confirmations that keep coming to me daily. I'm excited about this, because it's such a wonderful reality, and God's focus on it fills me with expectation of the freedom he wants to bring me, and to his people, the Church.
There will be more blog entries on this topic. For tonight, I will just state it: We Are No Longer Under the Law, but Under Grace. Oh, that sounds so bland, so boring. They are words we've heard and read so many times. How can I say it in a way that even partially communicates the meaning?
No more guilt. No more striving to be good enough. Stop it! You are loved, beautifully, deeply, intensely, joyfully, freely, wonderfully. It's ok, you can stop now. It's over, and love won.
Isn't that good?
