Identity amnesia
produces
identity replacement.
It has been
humanity's problem
since
a man and woman
in a Garden
given as a gift
attempted to
reach up
for the
place
of Another.
- Paul David Tripp
Broken-Down House
When?! When...when will I learn that I (just like Adam and Eve) am not a god, never will be deity, will always be sinful and a wretched glorious mess this side of heaven. Even better, when will it sink in that HE loves me just as I am. He redeemed me with full accurate hideous knowledge about every fiber of me! So why try to forget my past, or change who I am? God created me, chose me, ordained me, loves my past, present, and future and loves every fiber of my being through Jesus Christ! Sink in........go through my thick head down to my heart! Ugh!
I mean can the man get anymore to the point or more convicting?! And these are just the poems before each chapter! The book itself is even deeper! So good, so very good... I think I'm going on a Tripp rampage! It's addictive, once you pick it up, you cannot put it down.... be warned! :)
