A quote from Give Them Grace by Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson
Every human heart is always and ever drawn to the law. In the same way that iron filings follow a magnet, our hearts chase after rules - not because we ever really obey them but because we think they make life manageable. Rules elevate us to the position of lawgiver; they help us avoid the humiliation of prostrating ourselves before a bloody, despicable cross. We love to try to approve of ourselves and control others by generating more and more rules. p81
What do you think? Why do we choose rules over relationship?
