And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. (Psalm 119:45)
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)

We must approach God with the perspective of His infinite grace and allow Christ to manifest His life through us.

God's greatest desire is that our life in His Spirit be our most precious delight. Read more...
