Do everything in dependence on Me. The desire to act independently—apart from
Me—springs from the root of pride. Self-sufficiency is subtle, insinuating its
way into your thoughts and actions without your realizing it. But apart from Me, you can do nothing: that is, nothing of eternal value. My deepest
desire for you is that you learn to depend on Me in every situation. I move
heaven and earth to accomplish this purpose, but you must collaborate with Me in
this training. Teaching you would be simple if I negated your free will or
overwhelmed you with My power. However, I love you too much to withdraw the
godlike privilege I bestowed on you as My image-bearer. Use your freedom wisely
by relying on Me constantly. Thus you enjoy My Presence and My Peace.
John 15:5; Ephesians
6:10; Genesis 1:26-27
