loyalty

Today i taught sunday school. In class i taught about loyalty and how ruth was loyal to naomi. As i was teaching what i thought about the story the metaphor really helped me. Now im really religious and i realized that i should work harder to follow christ because i dont think i work hard enough. Is it me or does every religious person in the world think they are not good enough to be saved by God or that they need to work harder because they are not working hard enough. I think my kids in class are teaching me more than i am teaching them. They think more literal and just say what they feel or think about God. No complication just love. One kid told me that God gave love. Thats all he said and thats really all he needed to say. I was looking for God gives forgiveness and that as long as we believe and are truly sorry he will forgive but instead he said God gives love. To me that is totally true i mean yes it does get more complicated than that but it doesnt have to be. You can think about it at every angle and from every story in the bible but thats it it all comes down to God loving us. I had this epiphany by just teaching my sunday school students.
