Insights from TRG

Here are a couple of things worth repeating, because I know there is so much in them. They are from The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning:

...the more fully we accept ourselves, the more successfully we begin to grow. Love is a far better stimulus than threat or pressure.

...the first move [toward accepting God's acceptance] will always be to recognize that I am that way [prone to sinful ways].
