40 Days of Lint, Day Twenty-Nine: The Look of Love

Fourteen more days in the 40 Days of Lint series. Easter will be here before we know it.

I think we often misinterpret God the same way. Our guilt and shame color our view of Him as angry and out to get us, when in fact He yearns after us with a love we cannot fathom. He can see what sin is doing to us and the pain we’re bringing on ourselves in our self-worship. The sadness we see is that He must refrain from pulling us in against our will. Jesus does not force, but invites us to accept His love.
