You Are Accepted Without Condition
Life is busy enough without you also feeling pressured with religious duties. Despite what anyone may tell you, I don’t need you to perform for me. I don’t need you to behave just right, dress just so, or wear a mask to cover your emotions or personality. Life with me is not a life of bondage and duty. I love you completely—just the way you are. Life with me is free and beautiful.
Life is about discovering yourself and finding out how perfectly and thoroughly I love you. After all, I created you. I died for you. I gave all that I had so that you could be accepted without condition. You’re not holy enough or smart enough to perfect yourself, so I did it for you. All I want is for you to get to know me. I want you to be still in my presence and enjoy our relationship. I want you to stop doing things out of duty and discover what it’s like to walk with me in pure bliss simply because I love you.
For you reach into my heart. With one flash of your eyes I am undone by your love, my beloved, my equal, my bride. You leave me breathless—I am overcome by merely a glance from your worshiping eyes, for you have stolen my heart. I am held hostage by your love and by the graces of righteousness shining upon you.
