"Law in the Service of Love"

The easy thing to do when we run into a teaching we don't like, or a commandment that hits too close to home, or a moral precept that seems hopelessly out of touch is to ignore it, or make excuses, or even rationalize our own unwillingness to change.

Don't do that, my friends. Instead, call on God's grace and ask him for the strength to struggle, the vision to see, the humility to listen, and the courage to change.

As we approach Lent, think about the rough edges in your life — those hard places in your soul that need some polishing; the broken, wounded, and jagged places in your heart that need the medicine of God's truth and mercy. It's true that God loves us just as we are — but He also loves us way too much to just leave us as we are.
