Owning our own lives is the essence of freedom, and there is no love without freedom. Freedom realizes oneself, and love motivates us to give that self to others. When we give before we are free and truly own ourselves, we have fallen short of servanthood and into slavery. Realize what you own, and then share yourself with others. This is to fulfill the law of Christ.

Someone knows the #real you, and loves you anyway.

#Grace is the first ingredient necessary for growing up in the image of God.
Grace is #unbroken, uninterrupted, #unearned, and accepting #relationship.

It is the kind of relationship humanity had with God in the Garden of Eden.

Adam and Eve were loved and provided for.
They knew God’s #truth, and they had perfect #freedom to do God’s will.

In short, they were #secure; [...]
