What If
What if Jesus’ life was first and foremost a response to his acute awareness of Yahweh’s affection, to the depth of being known and loved by his Father? In this sense, the progression is reversed: Jesus’ behavior follows God’s pleasure. First, before anything, God is infinitely pleased—he’s just that kind of God to begin with—and then Jesus…

I think its important to clear ourselves of the entertainment, or better yet, distraction, from the world’s sources of identity, so we can more clearly know and see our identity in Christ.

I Can't
There seems to be a common (shared) concern among us. A feeling of inadequacy. We don’t have what it takes. Inadequacy is defined as the condition of not being enough or not good enough. Feelings of inadequacy
are when we feel we’re not good enough. These feelings generally have

Pay attention
Our lives are affected by what we pay attention to. The important question goes a bit deeper. Dr. Curt Thompson asks his patients to reflect on the question : How well am I paying attention to what I am paying attention to?
