Do you ever have a feeling of guilt hanging over your head that you are not doing
enough to please God?
Do you feel like scale of expectations is tipping heavily in the negative and you
must balance it?
Do you feel like you could never do enough to pay for your inability to be perfect?
Then your view of God is incorrect.
God is not hard to please.
He take delight in His creation and quickly notices every simple effort to please Him.
Psalm 103:11-14(GNB) As high as the sky is above the earth, so great is His love for
those who honour Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far
does he remove our sins from us. As a father is kind to those who
honour Him. He knows what we are made of: He remembers that we
are dust.
Do you feel like God requires too much of you?
Do you feel like God denies you things you need most?
If you do, then you don’t really know God.
Psalm 103:8-10 (GNB) The Lord is merciful and loving, slow to become angry and full of
constant love. He does not keep on rebuking: He is not angry for ever.
He does not punish us as we deserve or repay us according to our sins
and wrong.
This destroys the wrong assumption about God.
Have you lived with lies about God for too long?
Get to know Him.
God wants to do you good and not evil.
Jeremiah 29:11, says He want to give you a future and Hope.
Has your wrong picture of God been invented by the enemy in order to rob you of a true
knowledge and love of God?
Do not be deceived as Eve was in the garden.
Get to know the your heart truly desires to love.
To love God, you must:
- know Him intimately
- know Him personally
- know Him devotedly
This requires that you seek Him.
Seeking God is very similar to developing a friendship
- you talk a lot
- you listen to each others
- you write each others
- you find out what the other likes and does not like
- you do things that please that person
The more you spend time together, the more intimately you know your friend. And the more
intimately you know your friend, the greater your love will be. It works the same way with
your relationship with God.
