Steve, I like and agree with this message, but am reminded of how many Christians don't know their identity, and confuse their flesh and behavior with the core person. For example, with your last line, "He loves you no matter how you behave"----One legalistic friend of mine would translate that to say that "God loves our sin." Of course, that's not what you meant. I guess this is all the more reason to have these GraceWalk grooups and to be praying that those around us would understand their identity in Christ!

Thanks for the devotional.
