Jeannette A. Bakke Quotes
As We Mature In Faith, Our Willingness Is Tested, Expanded, And Refined. We Become More Conscious Of Our Limitations And Turn To God. The Necessity Of God's Grace Becomes Clearer As We Become More Attuned And Accurate In Our Recognition Of Our Dependence On God And Less Sure Of Anything That Causes Us To Describe Ourselves Self-righteously. At Times, When Confronted By The Less-than-ideal Behavior Of Others, We May Recognize That We Are Capable Of Similar Actions And Give Thankds To God For Helping Us Avoid Unwelcome Pitfalls. Scripture Instructs Us To Be Holy As God Is Holy, Yet We Increasingly Realize The Impossibility Of Holy Behavior Unless It Is Brought About By The Spirit's Empowerment And Our Willing Responsiveness And Cooperation. Many People Use Spiritual Direction As A Window Through Which To Notice And Attend To Their Own Expectations Of Willingness And Willfulness.
