Evening: Psalms 81, 82; Luke 15:1-10
We trivialize sin if we think it is about “being naughty”, or if we believe God needs to be appeased because God is bothered by sin. Sin is a broken relationship not a broken rule. The impact that this broken relationship has on us is what matters. We suffer - though not at God’s hands - when our relationship with God is broken, by acting in ways that cause harm. God simply longs for relationship with us ... ‘Repentance’ is the deep sorrow that turns us around towards the other and opens up the possibility of healing and renewed relationship.
