Thought for the Day
Legalist or Lover
What’s the difference between a legalist and a lover? The legalist keeps score, the lover doesn’t. Love thinks of how it might give more, do more, demonstrate love more fully. There are many examples of people who are poor in pocket, but rich in love.
More than anything else, God wants to be in a love relationship with you (Gospel). He wants your love more than your obedience or service! But if you love God, you will do those other things.
So, are you a legalist or a lover, alive or dead in how you live your faith? Your life shapes your response to this great commandment.
