reflections on the love that changes everything
You can trust the voice of Jesus. He is the God-appointed, Spirit-anointed Servant who came to give you freedom, God’s favour and a new identity as a beautiful oak of righteousness. And he says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
You are a child of the high King of heaven who has begun his reign. He reigns in our hearts, he reigns in this world, and one day, all the world will see Jesus for the great king he is.
…our actions flow out of our identity, and sometimes, especially when we do things that we later regret, it is because we suffer a form of amnesia, we temporarily forget who we are, and we do something totally out of character for us. So how do we find our way out of this dilemma of reoccurring temporary amnesia that keeps leading to regretful actions?
The Holy Spirit helps us to trust that we really are beloved, forgiven children of God
