I suspect you would never intend this, but this is what happens. When you attempt to live by your own religious plans and projects, you are cut off from Christ, you fall out of grace. Meanwhile we expectantly wait for a satisfying relationship with the Spirit. For in Christ, neither our most conscientious religion nor disregard of religion amounts to anything. What matters is something far more interior: faith expressed in love. Galatians 5:4-6 (The Message version)
What more can I say? Because I am graced by Your love for me, and the faith I have in Your son Jesus Christ, my desire is to allow Your spirit to lead in all ways; Your desire is to strengthen my will to do so.
