Praying God: “Receiving God”
Praying God: “Receiving God”
Too often we have reduced God to a cosmic Judge: we have violated his law, so we must make restitution. Without putting that completely aside, it is better to understand prayer for forgiveness as a desire to have the fullness of God’s presence. Where sin is an attempt to flee God, repentance is receiving him. The same life that we receive from God flows to those around us as we share God’s presence and life through extending his grace to others.
