You Will Trust God To The Degree

Being The Beloved Is Our Identity, The Core Of Our Existence. It Is Not Merely A Lofty Thought, An Inspiring Idea, Or One Name Among Many. It Is The Name By Which God Knows Us And The Way He Relates To Us

The Only Kind Of Love That Helps Anyone Grow Is Unconditional Love.

In My Experience, Self-hatred Is The Dominant Malaise Crippling Christians And Stifling Their Growth In The Holy Spirit.

We Are Not Cowed Into Timidity By Death And Life. Were We Forced To Rely On Our Own Shabby Resources We Would Be Pitiful People In Deed. But The Awareness Of Christ's Present Risenness Persuades Us That We Are Buoyed Up And Carried On By A Life Greater Than Our Own.

And Grace Calls Out, 'you Are Not Just A Disillusioned Old Man Who May Die Soon, A Middle-aged Woman Stuck In A Job And Desperately Wanting To Get Out, A Young Person Feeling The Fire In The Belly Begin To Grow Cold. You May Be Insecure, Inadequate, Mistaken Or Potbellied. Death, Panic, Depression, And Disillusionment May Be Near You. But You Are Not Just That. You Are Accepted.' Never Confuse Your Perception Of Yourself With The Mystery That You Really Are Accepted.
