Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us.” Tullian Tchividjian

It is clear that God desires to change certain attitudes and actions that will help us live wonderfully fruitful lives. Should we take up the practice with Him? I think yes, but we must take care doing so. One of the things that we should avoid when seeking change is making a checklist of religious practices that we can check off each day just so we can feel better about ourselves. I would think it better to follow His leading, not our own. God wants to make us truly righteous, not self-righteous.
