–From the book ‘Crazy Love:
“The Good News – the best news in the world – is that you can have a close, intimate, personal relationship with God Himself. Do you believe that God is the greatest thing you can experience in the whole world? Do you believe that the Good News of the Gospel is not merely about forgiveness, but that you also have access to a loving God?
Some of the best things in life are the gifts from the One who steadfastly loves us. But an important question to ask ourselves is this . . . Are we in love with God, or just His stuff?
Imagine how awful it would feel to have your child say to you, ‘I don’t really love you or want your love, but I WOULD like my allowance please.’
Our love for Him always comes out of His love for us. Do you love this God who is everything, or do you just love everything He gives you? Do you really believe that God loves you, individually, personally, and intimately? ”
