In my last discipleship post, I wrote that being a disciple
is about letting go of the love affairs we have in our lives that
can and will keep us from having the
real thing with God if we let
them. The point of ending a love affair in God’s economy is simple: it allows
us to return to our true Love—Him.
But letting go of a love affair is not the last step we take
in being devoted to someone; it’s one of the very first.
Our aim is to better know Who God IS—to have an intimate relationship
with God in which we experience Him on a moment-by-moment basis...to love
God with all of ourselves…to worship Him and no one else—not ourselves, our
favorite sports players or musicians, our bf/gf/h/w, our career, and/or our
hobbies.
You can’t have a relationship with someone you’ve never met…and
you can’t have an intimate relationship with someone you have met but don’t spend
a significant amount of spend time with.
