Hey Jon.
I wish I knew that a while back. It wasn't until last month that I discovered a book "Tired of trying to measure up" (awesome book!) that taught me in more detail of which you have summed up.

I still struggle with self condemning thoughts and shame, but I can feel and see God working in my life!

God Bless!

Remember in the movie “The Passion” when Christ is stumbling with the heavy cross and his mother Mary is looking on and crying and he says “behold I make all things new”…wow…of all the things he COULD have said at that moment…YES!! He makes all things new! Hallelujah! btw, Great post Jon.

Wow. This was huge for me to read. It’s just what I’m facing lately.
So, thank you.

I’ll be featuring your blog (again) in mine; specifically this post.

Jon, I really appreciated this post. In fact I printed it out with all the comments. I am scheduled to preach the first Sunday in Jan. and I was thinking of focusing on Ephesians 4:17-32. If you don’t mind may I quote you? I will use it in a positive light of course.

Thanks, Jon. Chalk up another neon sign to what God is telling me tonight of His beautiful, un-earned grace.

God’s been showing me the same thing. Thanks letting him work through you and reminding me yet again.

I love this quote

The cool thing is that God's ability to perform the miraculous is not limited to our ability to see it.

I'm gonna have to remember that.

That was a wonderful message. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. Whenever I hear someone say “I just need to do better” or think that myself, I can remember that it’s not up to me. God wants to make us new. Thanks!
