Epic Every Day

God cares more about you than I do. He cares more about your friends than you do, so why do you keep thinking you need to rescue them? Our culture tries so hard to avoid offense and hurt feelings that we often miss out on real love. Real love also involves constant reinforcements. Can't just say 'I love you' once and for all, it needs to be heard again and again. God says this to us.

God will not be intimidated by our temper tantrums. His love is big enough to listen. It's so big that sometimes we shy away from it because it's too bright. C.S. Lewis said that sometimes we want too little from God. If we're just looking for a warm fuzzy, we won't find it because God's love is more real than a nice feeling.

Doesn't God's demand for our obedience make Him a tyrant? This is an emotional response, which is where we live. It takes developing new neural pathways to process God's love. We don't have to love God in return, we can choose to hate. This could cloud our judgment of His love for us because we think He could hate us in return. However, the Bible says He cannot. He is love.

It's impossible to surrender to someone you don't trust because you're admitting their way is better than yours. Trusting someone is seldom about a big event, it's a million little instances. God though, in one grand display on the cross, has eternally proved his love. We also talk about the power of self-sacrifice/redemptive themes in media.

What do you think about when you think about God? What are your assumptions about Him? Do you think about Love first? Growing deeper in love with God takes work—like any relationship. Feeling or thinking about love is not real love. How we understand or misrepresent God's love as Christians either adds to or steals our calm and peace.

The wall around your heart's garden can get damaged over time. Fortunately, there are ways to maintain the wall. But unfortunately, it's all to common for the cracks and holes in the wall to go untended—and then we just keep getting hurt by the same things over and over. We run into problems if we take it to the extreme too—if we build up the wall into an impenetrable fortress, braising for the unknown future.

What does it look like to keep the gate of your heart open to God? To really trust Him? Are you projecting something someone did on to God? Today on Epic Every Day Evan & Liz Frerichs talk about ways to open the door to God—to trust him again. When trauma is a part of the picture, it's impossible to just trust God without doing some major healing work.

What's the best criteria for what to let in through the gate of your heart? Is that something you can determine on your own without consulting a wiser party? When we truly know ourselves in light of who God made us to be, it gets much easier to discern what to say 'yes' to and what to say 'no' to. We've got to be centered.

It's been said that love means never saying 'no.' But never saying 'no' is like not having a good wall around your heart—anyone can come in and plunder your time and energy. Having good boundaries and saying 'no' when you mean it, as well as saying 'yes' when you mean it, is a good way to love. But it takes practice.

Your heart is a garden full of everything you have to offer the world—your time, your talents, your energy. It is wise to have a wall around this garden with a working gate. This week, Evan & Liz Frerichs will be talking about how best to maintain this wall and keep the gate; letting good in and keeping bad out.
