Just me trying to be honest with God.

The hope of Heaven is not about a place we are going so much as it is about someone we are becoming.

It is easy to fall into the trap of focusing our energy on “believing” certain doctrines as a measure of what it means to be a Christian, rather than cooperation with the Spirit of Christ to be transformed into a new creature. The focus of Christ is to secure both a means for our forgiveness and at the same time transform us into little versions of Himself. This is accomplished not so much by following a set of rules as it is by a spiritual union of our soul to His. What is this like? We can invite Him into our heart and see.
