Well as I've posted I've been reading in Mark again just to really soak it in and digest God's word.
So far I'm coming to the conclusion that I am more of Pharisees pie hole than a Jesus follower, or so it feels at times. That's the flesh that I struggle with. I want all of the rules and this set guideline of do's and don't's. I'm comfortable there. I think many of us are.
It is there that we know that we're on point or how far off point. We can measure our "spirituality" on the do-do's guidelines.
BUT what I'm having to learn all over again is that Jesus has already freed us from all of that. All Jesus wants us to do is love him with all of our heart soul and mind!!
When we do that, we end up learning to live in the tension of law and grace that God has called us to.
Go back to that moment when God first freed you. Remember that. Praise him for that. Live free!
