Fall Back

God wants to take the torn pieces of our lives and our relationships and He wants to rework them and make them new. As we are willing to place our lives and our relationships in His hand He reclaims and reforms and reconciles our relationships. He takes them and forms then into something new. This will be one of God’s primary objectives as we stay connected to Him. Spiritual growth is all about relationships. It is about learning to love God and learning to love people. That is what we are doing in this 60/60 Experiment. We learn to love God and we demonstrate love for God when we respond to His involvement in our lives and as we willingly respond to his will throughout the day. As we talked about last week, we cannot really love God until we learn to love other people.
We can’t do this relationship thing alone. That is why we are learning to respond to God. We can’t do difficult relationships on our own. In fact, we can’t even do the good relationships well on our own. That is why we are learning to be connected and stay connected to God. This is why we are learning to hear and respond to the God promptings that we hear throughout our day. God wants to guide us and He wants to teach us how to love with a higher love.
