*MY FAVOURITE THING TO DO*
*November 6*
_"O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him"_. (Psalms 34:8)
*God loves you because He's a good God*. It's grace, and your faith doesn't move Him. God isn't responding to you. *Your faith is a response to Him. You need to understand that God loves you and deals with you by grace*. He's already forgiven all of your sins. *You need to quit sinning so that you don't let Satan have an inroad into your life*. But your holiness – or lack thereof – is not the basis of your relationship with God.
By understanding and applying these truths to your life, you'll move to a whole new level of relationship with God. It should be so easy to believe Him. *If God loved you enough to die for you while you were an absolute enemy of the cross, how much more does He love you now that you're just His imperfect child? How much more does He want to move in your life now?* This knowledge reduces the Christian life down to where it's simple, as God intended it to be.
*God loves me*. I study the Word, not to get God to love me, but because *I want to read His love letter and discover how much He loves me*. I pray, not because I have to, *but because I want to*. I'm not just punching a time clock and getting my "credit." I pray *because I love God and truly enjoy hanging out with Him*.
What religion and tradition have taught you about God hinders you from enjoying Him. It's not easy to hang out with somebody you think is killing babies, making some retarded, and causing others to be born deformed. How can you draw near to someone who "sent" the terrorist attacks, violent weather, and other so-called "acts of God"? You can't. *But when you understand the truth of how good God really is, your favourite thing to do will be just to love and hang out with Him*.
