Conventional Christian spirituality has a list of common Do’s and Don’ts. Do pray often to have a thriving spiritual life. Do go to church every week to be a good Christian. Do worship in a certain way to honor God. Do read the Bible every day for x-amount of time. Don’t use certain instruments in worship. Don't sing certain songs. Don’t talk about certain topics. Don’t broadcast your imperfection. Some of these vary in importance depending on where we are. Dos and Don’ts are important as a rock-like foundation, but spirituality is a living complex thing. You are a complex thing. If your spirituality looks just like a blueprint you’ve been given, it’s not yours. If your relationship with God is only based on a model you’ve been taught, it’s not yours. Relationships are meant to be unique. Let us strive to have a vibrant personal and unrepeatable relationship with God!
