I was in my daily reading this morning (Colossians 2) and verses 20-22 really stuck with me:
"Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: 'Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!'? These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings."
For a long time I had a rules and regulations kind of relationship with God. When I lived in that I was unhappy, had a lack of fulfillment, and constantly felt like I wasn't good enough for God. But, there's good news... it's a bunch of malarkey! God isn't a you better wear your suit and tie, don't watch Terminator 3, make sure you never listen to hip hop or rock n' roll God. His heart is for relationships. A true and trusting, deep-into-your-heart kind of relationship. When you and I turn our attention to the cross and surrender our lives to God- the rules and regulations type of living is out and the life of love and grace is in.
Now that the burden is lifted, go live for God without man made boundaries.
