Once we have learned to discern the real nature of both good and evil, we recognize that everything is broken and fallen, weak and poor, while still being the dwelling place of God – you and me, your country, your children, your churches, even your marriage. That is not a put-down, but finally a freedom to love imperfect things! As Jesus told the rich young man, “God alone is good!. In this, you may have been given the greatest recipe for happiness for the rest of your life.
You cannot wait for things to be totally perfect to fall in love with them or you will never love anything. Now, instead, you can love everything.
