Free yourself from the crazy idea that you have to get it right!

The great thing about God's love is that it's not determined by us.  "God does not love us because we are good. God loves us because God is good." The difference between the way human love operates and the way God's love operates. Human love is a response - God's love moves first towards us whether or not we "deserve" it.  Divine love operates in an unqualified way, without making distinctions between persons, actions, or personal preferences. Divine love is received by surrender instead of performance or perfection.  There is nothing we can do to make God love us more then He already does and forever will!   It reminds me of the quote I heard in yoga this week..."Either the goal of yoga is to be FREE,  or the goal of yoga is to get it right. You can't really have it both ways. Because if you choose freedom, you have to free yourself of that crazy idea that you have to get it right."  The same goes with God's love -  We try so hard so measure up and at the same time want peace.  We can't have it both ways, either we SURRENDER to God's love or we spend our whole life trying to live up to the impossible notion that we must earn Divine Love.
