How to Receive God's Favor | In 5 Minutes

Is your relationship with God performance based or is it founded on his unconditional love? Oftentimes, relationships with authority figures taint the relationship we have with God. Some authority figures might set guidelines and standards for how we might live, but we inevitably fall short - opening the door to shame and guilt. Our mentality becomes clouded with the idea of doing whatever it takes to get things right - avoiding anything that could mess it up! During these experiences, we begin to approach authority with fear and caution which sets the tone for future relationships. As a result, we begin seeing God as yet another person with a list of demands and commands. In this fear-based approach, our choices, actions, thoughts, and words begin to revolve around the idea that we need to perform or behave in a way that is acceptable...or else. This simply isn’t true! God, as our authority figure, does't lord things over us. He offers us a relationship that is based on HIS unconditional love and NOT on our performance. It is in this relationship where we find the freedom to be vulnerable where we no longer carry the burden of trying to prove ourselves worthy of relationship. Instead, we walk with confidence and boldness, fully aware that it is in his presence where we can engage in a passionate and beautiful relationship.
