"WHO CAN EXPLAIN GOD"  Who can explain God? It takes all of Jesus Christ to explain him. There are hundreds of functions and facets and names of Jesus; the Light, the Ancient of Days, the I am, Wonderful Counselor, the Light of Israel, the chief Cornerstone, the Way, the Truth, the Life and on and on and on. He is the image of God's Person, but it takes every facet of him to reveal fully the glories of the Godhead.

As I close this week praying that this be your best week ever, remember never give up. You may get tired but stay in the race. Cynthia Heald wrote "Freedom From Perfectionism" A lingering weight I carry from my past is wanting to be perfect in order to be accepted by God and other people. Whenever I fail, I tend to want to disappear from the planet. I berate myself and renew my vow never to let it happen again! It encourages me to hear Paul say that he was not perfect and that he would not allow his past to dictate his present behavior (see Philippians3:12-16 ). God certainly does not expect me to be perfect; in a sense he is pleased when I do something right! It has been freeing to me to know that God can break destructive patterns. He can guide us into confronting the deep wounds of our past by giving us wise counselors, faithful friends and his Spirit. He and only he can take away our sin and guilt. God is in the business of freedom and newness, and it is when I acknowledge my past and confess my sin that I can begin to experience his liberty. He gives new lives for old.

BE BLESSED
