You live in a world that is performance oriented. Employers rate employees based on their performances on the job. Symphony directors rate their members on their performances in a concert. Directors rate their actors on their performances.
I am not performance oriented. When I see you, I do not expect you to show how much you love Me by what you do and say. I do not grade you on how you are growing in faith or how the fruits of My Spirit are developing in your life.
I love you just the way you are. My Spirit is always within you to lead you into all truth and to help you to be conformed to My image. However, your performance means nothing to Me. I am pleased with you always simply because My love is not conditioned on performance. Remember today that I love you just as much as the Father loves Me. Yield to My Holy Spirit and allow Him to help you constantly throughout this day to not be more religious, but to be more intimate with Me. Religion separates, but relationship unites.
