I love him!
So this is part of a comment I left a friend. And I didn't realize what it said til I read it and thought I would share it with yall. Enjoy.
And I'm not honestly a religion. I'm not a methodist, I'm nondenominational. Otherwords I don't follow a religion I follow the bible. Religion is all rules and tradition. God doesn't want to know I can follow tradition and a set a rules. He wants to know that I can follow and be obident to his word. To what he speaks to me. He wants to know I can love him with my heart, all on my own, not because I'm suppose to but because I want to. Because I want to please my father in heaven. And I want to some day spend eternity with him. He wants me to serve him because it's laid on my heart to please him, not because it's written down in a sit of rules to only become a routine tradtion. But so it leads me to something new every day and makes me more hungry to learn more what he's got planned for me and to grow stronger in him. I have the will to choose and thats what makes it so great! I'm choosing this for me. I'm not forced and thats why he gives us the free will. It's not much of love if it's You have to love God. You have to Love Jesus. It's more meaningful when you say, "God I don't belong to the world. I don't love you because I have to. I love you because you gave so much for me. You've done things for me no one else can do. I love you because you are my father, not because of the rules. I love you and follow you because one day I want to meet the person who sent me my savior. Who forgives me when no one else can."
Think about it. Can you say you follow home because you love him that much or because you have to?
