That is hard to imagine, even harder to accept, for among other things, it means realizing that your own mother felt this way, too--unsure of herself, weak in the knees, terrified about what in the world to do with you.

I answer, 'By getting a true perspective of who we really are!' We are sons and daughters of a living God in whose image we have been created. Think of that truth: 'Created in the image of God!' We cannot sincerely hold this conviction without experiencing a profound new sense of strength and power, even the strength to live the commandments of God, the power to resist the temptations of Satan.” ThinkingHas BeensMightFacesAsksGoalAnswersTroubleAchieveHumilitySonPerspectiveDaughterCapacityProfoundDisappointmentConvictionTemptationTriumphSatanCommandmentsSincerelyCheerfulnessGod ImageSon And DaughterCommandments Of God Author:Thomas S.
