live love.

“we are now, and we will be in the future, only as intimate with God as we really choose to be.” 

-j oswald sanders

so true.

my relationship with God is my responsibility.

i have no one else to blame but me.

yes, God still grows me, and must change me, but it is my choice whether or not i allow Him to.

it is up to me how much i will allow God to take over.

c.s. lewis puts it this way.

 ‘”‘Make no mistake,’ He says, ‘if you let me, I will make you perfect. The moment you put yourself in My hands, that is what you are in for. Nothing less, or other, than that. You have free will, and if you choose, you can push Me away. But if you do not push Me away, understand that I am going to see this job through. Whatever suffering it may cost you in your earthly life, whatever inconceivable purification it may cost you after death, whatever it costs Me, I will never rest, not let you rest, until you are literally perfect–until my Father can say without reservation that He is well pleased with you, as He said He was well pleased with me. This I can do and will do. But I will not do anything less.’”

i’m not sure what else to say other than. 

yea. i’m not choosing very close right now. and i’m not letting Him do a whole lot.
