Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you. 1 Peter 5: 7 (The Message)
"The personal dimension of the gospel is good news about ourselves. ... No matter how well we manage to provide an appearance of competence and happiness, if we are filled with anxieties and guilt and hopelessness, we cannot make it. ...
God's love and our salvation are completely expressed and fully accomplished in Jesus Christ. That is good news. As we receive him, we live freely and not apprehensively. We live in open praise and not in piggish greed. Our lives are changed from being obsessed with guilt and ridden with fear to being spontaneous and filled with hope. That's good news!"
