Marriage of convenience?

Finding Grace, reflecting on the work of Tim Keller, shares these thoughts on relationship with God:

Pretend that someone married you because your family had a lot of money. But the moment that your spouse found out that he/she wouldn’t be able to get his/her hands on that money, he/she decides to divorce you. How would you feel?

Used? Forsaken? Betrayed?

We do this same thing to God all the time.

We want His stuff. But we don’t want Him.

Ouch. That hurts, but the whole essay is still worth reading.
