We are often harsher judges than God himself.

God is not in a hurry to fix us. Our behavior is not his first priority. We are his first priority. Loving us, knowing us, affirming us, protecting us. That is his top goal and his main concern.

I wonder if we have a lot of sons running around saying, "I want a Dad." But you won't abide in anyone.

We are often harsher judges than God himself.

Make rules and follow rules as needed, but don't focus on riles. Focus on faith. Focus on grace. Focus on Jesus.

Grace is a person. And his name is Jesus.

The Bible is meant to be down-to-earth. It was written for real people facing real issues.
