It’s all too easy to slip into legalistic
thinking.
I don’t mean that I’m likely to find myself
imposing an archaic, rigid moral framework on others — there’s not much
danger of that sort of legalism. But I tend to default to a very binary view of
the will of God. Black and white. On and off. Good and evil. Avoid the bad stuff
and you’ve had a good day. And I’m probably not alone in that.
I didn’t get up this morning hoping,
praying and planning to express Christ to others in the very best possible way.
I should’ve, but I didn’t.
