Sometimes it's hard to accept, but God promised to be with us through the hard times. Thanks to grace we can say like David did that: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.

The principle is this: people who aren’t condemned don’t condemn … and you can tell how condemned a person feels by checking out how condemned you feel in that person’s presence.

This is an excellent observation.

Until a believer finally reaches the point in his spiritual maturity to surrender everything to the Lord, he will not be able to live in freedom and experience the easy yoke and light burden that comes from following Christ. My long time tagline is something that I have learned to live and its truth is constantly being reaffirmed in my life. I know it is true:

God is ready to assume full responsibility for the life wholly yielded to Him.
