The only thing that separates a living faith from a ritualistic orthodoxy is one word, one idea, and one compelling force: LOVE. I know this is true, but I also know that it’s not as easily demonstrated. I have often enough put my frustration, disappointment, anger, and inadequacy on full display for my kids to see. My tendency is to always want to explain the “Why?” behind the rules, instead pointing my kids toward a loving God that seeks to protect them. The problem with reasons for the “Why?” is that you can debate them. What you cannot debate is a trusted relationship.
