Imagine

Although I disagree with this person's phrasing that indicates only a man can change his life by trusting he is loved by God, or that a man can only marry a man..... BUT other than those minor things - this SERIOUSLY sums up my theology. Imagine what the world would be like if we truly trusted in God, that God loves us, that God is ALWAYS with us and that God will never leave us?

"Imagine how much a man's life would be changed if he trusted that he was loved by God? He could interact with the poor and not show partiality, he could love his wife easily and not expect her to redeem him, he would be slow to anger because redemption was no longer at stake, he could be wise and giving with his money because money no longer represented points, he could give up on formulaic religion, knowing that checking stuff off a spiritual to-do list was a worthless pursuit, he would have confidence and the ability to laugh at himself, and he could love people without expecting anything in return. It would be quite beautiful, really." - Donald Miller
