God didn't design religion, we did. Our original design was supposed to be for relationship, and to be in the image of God. Religion says I have to be something or accomplish something in order to get His love. In true relationship with the Father there is rest, there is fellowship, there is oneness where we connect spirit to spirit and get to be sons and daughters.
If your heart is not fully connected to him, you’ll live from a place of religion instead of a relationship. Religion operates in performance, from a work mentality of 'I have to' instead of 'I get to'. Religion says I have to work or perform for His love. It demands a title where true relationship knows you get to rest in Him, He loves us because He loves us and the only thing you need to be known as, is a son or a daughter of the King. We don’t have to “do” anything to get our Papa’s approval. Connection is everything!
Are you connected?
