God reminds us again and again that things between He and us are forever fixed. They are the rendezvous points where God declares to us concretely that the debt has been paid, the ledger put away, and that everything we need, in Christ we already possess.

This in turn frees us to stop looking out for what we think we need and liberates us to love our neighbor by looking out for what they need.
