🟣 Tuesday — Disordered Love
Truth:
Sin does not only change what we do; it disorders what we love.
Micro-Teaching:
A lot of people think the problem is just behavior. Stop doing this. Start doing that. Make better choices. And yes, choices matter. But underneath every choice is some kind of love pulling the person forward. We move toward what has weight to us.
That is why the curved self is so dangerous. It does not just make us selfish in obvious ways. It trains the heart to love the wrong things too much, the right things in the wrong order, and God as useful instead of supreme. Comfort becomes too heavy. Approval becomes too heavy. Control becomes too heavy. Even ministry, family, work, and discipline can get bent when they start serving the self instead of being received from God and returned to Him.
Christ does not merely forgive the outward act and leave the inner life untouched. He goes after the roots. He reorders love. Slowly, honestly, sometimes painfully, He teaches the soul to stop clinging to lesser things like they can save us. That is real formation—not just cleaner behavior, but a heart being brought back into right order before God.
Practice:
Notice one thing today that has more weight in your heart than it should.
Reflection:
What am I loving in a way that is starting to bend me inward?
Word of the Day:
Disordered Love — loving created things with the weight, order, or dependence that belongs to God.
A FREE companion course connected to the themes of Because He Is, We Are will be available here soon.
