Like someone obsessed with their lawn, we’re constantly looking outward—measuring our lives, our status, and our efforts against others. In this search for a sense of rightness, we often end up unloving, insecure, and exhausted. Rather than producing love, our striving for justification breeds comparison and contempt. What we need is a love, rest, and freedom that doesn’t come from us but to us—a grace that resets our hearts and shifts our gaze from outward striving to upward dependence.
