Description
We struggle to like our enemies. God asks us to love them. Our cupboards are bare. God asks us to make Him a feast. We cannot walk. God asks us to carry our burden. We think the secret is trying harder! The God we thought we knew made us clench our spiritual teeth in frustration and struggle to merit His approval. That God tantalized us with the prospect of eternal life, held just beyond our reach, so we spend our lives striving to be better and falling short of His standards. But the real God asks us to die. Then He patiently molds each persevering, yielding sinner--each living sacrifice--into His divine image. The real God does not ask us to deserve forgiveness. Only to accept it. Meet the real God. Let Him transform your relationships. You'll never be the same.
