Hey

I am going through the book “Blue Like Jazz” by Donald Miller. I have heard many good things about his books from Pastors and friends alike, so I have decided to read them. I was reading a certain part that I really liked how he put it.

“He talks about Jesus as if he knows him, as if he has talked to Him on the phone earlier that morning. Rick loves God because he accepts God’s unconditional love first. Rick says that I will love God because he loved me. I will obey God because I love God. But if I cannot accept God’s love, I cannot love Him in return, and I cannot obey Him. … The ability to accept God’s unconditional grace and ferocious love is all the fuel we need to obey Him in return. … Our ‘behavior’ will not be changed long with self-discipline but fall in love and a human will accomplish what he never thought possible.”
