Father God, thank You for having no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, You did by sending Your own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. (Rom. 8:1-3) Help me to understand that the loving chastisement that might come to me after I have rebelled against You is only in the purest Father's love and is never to be confused with condemnation. (Heb. 12:6)

We were created for the purpose of giving God's invisible character a glimpse of visibility.

It’s critical that we know what we believe, no matter what we feel...that we know what is true, no matter what we see.

A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants.

A head full of biblical knowledge without a heart passionately in love with Christ is terribly dangerous - a stronghold waiting to happen. The head is full, but the heart and soul are still unsatisfied.

God is just waiting for you to turn your face back toward Him. You've not gone too far!

Ultimately, our relationship with Christ is the one thing we cannot do without.
