Authenticity is so important to have in any relationship. It’s so important to be as real as possible as you relate to and interact with the people in your life.
And it’s even more important that you be real and authentic in your relationship with your Heavenly Father.
I don’t know if you noticed, but it seems that more and more “followers of Christ” are just going through the motions.
And it frustrates me, because anyone can “act” like a Christian.
Anyone can show up to a worship service.
Anyone can drop a few bucks in the offering plate.
Anyone can say that they’re going to pray for you.
But God expects and desires so much more than our lame attempts to do what He asks us to do.
He expects us to know and love Him.
And that’s what we need to do!
