Joy and I have found Graham Cooke's talks very inspiring. In this talk he dives deeply into God's true nature:
God's true nature of goodness, love, kindness, faithfulness, etc. is consistent and can be depended upon always. KEY TRUTHS:
- God loves you unconditionally, so He can't be angry at the same time. He sees you only in Christ. - God's promises are unwavering.
- Key #1: We change when we see God's unchanging heart for us. - Radical Permission #1: God's unchanging nature allows us to stand in absolute confidence no matter what is occurring.
- Key #2: It's impossible for the Father to see you disconnected from love. - Performance comes after relationship.
