Three lies that keep you from your riches...

Love has an enemy.  It is immaturity.  We should want to move forward in maturity - the process of our self-centered ideas being replaced by a healthier perspective.  Clinging to immature ways interferes with our sense of peace, security, and joy.  Knowing the truth will lead to relationships characterized by love.

We may wrongly believe:

  1. Lie #1 - God's love for us depends on how good we are.  We act as if our behavior can positively or negatively impact His affection for us.  But Scripture tells us that the Lord's love is constant; it never varies.
  2. Lie #2 - Acceptance by others has to do with performance, not who we are.  With this mindset, we constantly try to please other people.  But we can rest in the truth that God has adopted every believer into His family; we are fully accepted.
  3. Lie #3 - Our security rests in social status, material things, or some other worldly prize.  This leads to anxiety and manipulation as we attempt to acquire what we lack.  The truth is, we'll experience peace when we realize Christ is our true source of security.
Put your childish ways behind you and follow Christ.  Live a happier, healthier, loving life today!
