[Teisha Nolen]

This devotional is challenging, but I believe, as with everything, it all comes down to that relationship with God. The “God loves you” message does draw you in, and many can be fooled into thinking “good enough” is good enough when it comes to checking the “religion” box. The difference is in the relationship. Our relationship with God will guide us in all aspects, including how we deal with our sin. Anything that is honored above God can be considered sin. By that definition, something that is sin for me may not be sin for another. It all boils down to that relationship, to giving your heart and life to God and obeying where He leads. A heart that hungers for God, and a life fully submitted to God, is where the focus needs to be. He will show you the rest.
