A year into the worst business crisis of my real estate career, I was sitting in my home office every day before work and pouring out my heart to God by journaling a page or two. (If you want, you can journal as another form of prayer.) One of those mornings, I wrote to Him that I was just so weary of trying to please Him. I needed Him to show me that I don’t have to do something to prove that I’m good enough for Him to love me. Because of the way I was raised, it was especially hard for me to imagine myself ever doing enough to hear the words I love you from my heavenly Father.
I reminded Him how hard I had been working to be a strong Christian man. How much time I spent reading the Bible and in prayer. How I was trying to be a godly husband and an involved father. How I was a man of integrity and trying to be a great steward of everything entrusted to me. I even reminded Him of how many little old ladies I had helped cross the street!I gave God all the reasons why He should consider me worthy of His love: a righteousness based on good works, merit based on performance, and a reward that I had earned. When I was finally done, God’s Spirit spoke to my heart, “Pat, nothing you do could ever make you good enough for me to love you. I love you because I made you.” I was shocked. At that moment, for the first time, God’s love for me moved in a supernatural way from abstract to personal. For the first time in my life, I understood grace. Overwhelmed with tears of joy, I felt like a new creature; I had new life, a new depth, a new conversion, a new spiritual blessing. I wrote in my journal, “I know that my life will never be the same again.” And it hasn’t been— because God and I had that conversation.
