So often I have seen my Christian life driven by a need to earn love, to be celebrated for my undying loyalty and my exhaustion from giving my life for Jesus. So often I live like God’s love, affection and acceptance can be earned from the number of people I have preached to, the amount of ‘lost reached’ and the quantity of tears shed––but I find it doesn’t change how God sees me, my position before Him or, more often, my position in relation to everyone else before Him.
