Being Righteous - The Rev. Philip DeVaul

Sermons from the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer

If when you see God coming down the lane, you say, here comes blessing, here comes love. My heart is filled. I can't wait to find out how I'm loved. That is good and healthy relationship, and you don't have to be religious to get this because again, you know this in your real friendships and relationships in your life, you know the people that when they come over, you don't even care that your house is a mess. You know those people where you don't even say, I'm sorry, it's a mess cuz they're just in and they love you and you know it. Are those the good relationships, the healthy ones, the people who, when you see them, you see something beautiful and powerful and you recognize how they're loving this world and the people who make you feel like loving more? That is a good and healthy relationship. And what Paul's talking about today is simply howwe have a good and healthy relationship with the one who made us. We do it first and foremost by just having the right lens at which we look at God.
