She writes with grace and wit and you will blessed reading her posts. Lau Ying Kheng’s recent post is insightful and helpful for those who need to discern the difference between religion and true spirituality. Here’s an extract:
Religion gives us unending work and distractions.
God’s gift is rest from useless work and focus on His love for us,Religion says, “You are what you do so take on one more job, plan one more program, wear one more hat.”
God wants us to be formed only by His perfect love for us, in us, and through us.
Read the rest of her post titled “Forget Religion. Relate to God”. She’ll also be preaching(not sharing) at WRPF on the 23rd of December 2012.
one of my favourite part of the prayers of confession (is this uniquely Methodist?) is:
“Forgive us, we pray. Free us for joyful obedience, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen”
I’m not sure how to put it, but through Jesus, being obedient/righteous is no longer a chore.
Rest in His Love and Work from that restedness.
