This is where I keep a whole lot of stuff that I’ve written. You're welcome to read it if you like, but please don’t feel obliged.
If you refresh the page you should see a new (random) quote.
Realistic self-appraisal is based first on a correct perception of our relationship with God and, second, on a correct perception of our relation with fellow humans, particularly fellow Christians. Though sin has marred me terribly, yet I am at worst the wreck of something that God created in his very image. If I am a wreck, then I am the wreck of something noble and beautiful. I am also his redeemed and adopted child. So while I may be unworthy of the honor he does me, nevertheless […] I am set apart for his sole use, an object of a rescue attempt that meant the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Christ, and the ongoing indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. I am being changed into Christ’s image ‘from glory to glory,’ that is, from one degree of glory to another. To grasp such truths is to be filled with awe and wonder at God’s astonishing kindness, an experience far, far removed from the psychological concept of self-esteem.”
