We need a “rule of life" to steward vision from God so we don’t get distracted. It is a fact of life that maturity, in any form, does not happen to us spontaneously. The life of the Spirit we are called to live into sees both our passions (what makes our hearts come alive) and our discipline (what we commit to regardless of how we feel) as gifts meant for our liberation.
When we’re anxiously attached to God, we constantly worry that we are never doing enough to earn God’s favor. For many in the Christian household, we have been told that “sin is what separates us from God”. This leads to all sorts of anxiety-inducing questions and struggles because it insinuates closeness is directly proportional to our ability to manage our sin. The program can look a variety of ways depending on the values of our denomination of origin.
