Every Christian knows that God loves him or her. Unfortunately, that fact often remians a tenet or tenant of the mind. And until it gets into your heart, it remains information. Once it gets into your heart, it results in transformation.
Mark Batterson
What a tragedy that we do not soak in the love of God. God's love is so much more than a theological principle that we deposit in our minds. It is more than a confession in a creed. As I survey the landscape of Christianity around me, it seems that we run the risk of keeping the love of God in our heads and out of our hearts. I agree with Mark Batterson. The result is information without transformation. In order for God's love to transform us, we have to let Him near. We have to long to be near to Him. To know, to really know God is to experience His presence, His love. Remember, Jesus came to teach us that He is Emmanuel (God with us).
