Jesus tends to his people individually. He personally sees to our needs. We all receive Jesus' touch. We experience his care.

I think there is, not in the sense that I enjoy it, but that it's an important question. It's the question, Does the presence of pain mean God doesn't care? Does God not love me anymore? I think that's a very common connection we tend to make. I see that a lot in my own life and in the lives of others.

Our tendency is to be converted to church and not to Christ.

You are saved, not because of what you do, but because of what Christ did. And you are special, not because of what you do, but because of whose you are. And you are his. And because we are his, let's forget the shortcuts and stay on the main road. He knows the way. He drew the map. He knows the way home.

To see sin without grace is despair. To see grace without sin is arrogance. To see them in tandem is conversion.
