Living to God

If we are to live unto God at any time or in any place, we are to live unto him at all times and in all places. If we are to use anything as a gift of God, we are to place everything as his gift. They, therefore, who confine religion to times and places, and who think that it is being too strict and rigid to make religion give laws to all their actions and ways  of living—they who think thus mistake the whole nature of religion. They may well be said to mistake the whole nature of wisdom who not not think it desirable to be always wise. He has not learned the nature of piety who thinks it too much to be pious in all his actions.

—William Law, A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life

Translation: Dude, real religion is about giving your whole life and being to God in a dynamic and growing relationship. It ain’t about doing your own thing or just going to church once a week. It’s like, 24/7/365.
