Spiritual Check-in, part 2

Mkay. So this is later in the week than I would have liked, but I'm doing it, and that's the important thing. I've fallen behind in my summer Bible reading plan, but that's okay. I'll just catch up in the nest few days. What I wanted to write about was a reminder I had during Church on Sunday. I do a lot of thinking during worship every week, sometimes about God and spiritual stuff, but as often as not my mind just wanders. I was thinking about how I had fallen behind in my reading plan, and I was feeling bad about it, when I just kind of remembered/realized that God is going to love me the same amount if I read the Bible for ten hours every day, or if I don't read it at all. His love for me is not dependent on some arbitrary spiritual marker I set myself. That isn't to say that there is no consequence to failing to achieve those spiritual markers, as they are often ways to get to know God better, and to have a deeper relationship with him, but they don't change his love for me.
