I don't think Elizabeth's denying that we're children of God. That's a given. What I understood this to mean, was that if I really look at the desires God has given me-- the visions he's placed in my heart-- and follow through, I will experience the beauty of really serving God.<BR/><BR/>Serving God isn't some brutal subservient activity; it's fulfilling. I was created to bring glory to God. And God has placed specific visions and dreams on my heart. I see it as a win-win.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13996416.post-1148944104668027672006-05-29T19:08:00.000-04:002006-05-29T19:08:00.000-04:00Enough of the human flowery prose....John 8:35 New...Enough of the human flowery prose....<BR/><BR/>John 8:35 <BR/>New International Version (NIV)<BR/><BR/>Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.<BR/><BR/>A slave is a servant.
