Me: I just started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prodigal: I think it will look great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let no one imagine that he will lose anything of human dignity by this voluntary sell-out of his all to his God. He does not by this degrade himself as a man; rather he finds his right place of high honor as one made in the image of his Creator. His deep disgrace lay in his moral derangement, his unnatural usurpation of the place of God. His honor will be proved by restoring again that stolen throne. In exalting God over all he finds his own highest honor upheld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 8:38-39<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
