Habits of Grace: Openness: Open to a God You Can't Control

Bekki Fahrer discusses how making ourselves open to God at work in our lives is core to a healthy faith life. God is Person who wants a relationship with us. Yet, we would often prefer a god we can manipulate and control. Our preference for control may be why Christians frequently have a reputation for focusing on rules; rules clearly show who is doing well and who isn’t. Yet, God invites us into the unpredictability of true relationship with him and with others.
