Language Change

So often in life, I feel as though I'm writing in basic computer language again. Remember the "if...then" statements

If 3 > 300 Then ? "Good Job"

As Christian's what happens when we change our language from "if-then" to "because-therefore".

If God loves me, then I am forgiven to Because God loves me, therefore I am forgiven.

Framing our faith in positive words reflects the joy Paul reveals to us in his epistles. Saved by grace through faith. God is the main actor in our lives. The almighty acts first in love, and we respond.

Try to spend two weeks removing the word If from conversations. Because and When are two of my favorite substitutes. When I do my daily devotions, I feel at peace.
