Doug and I remember when this young woman was a little girl. I read her post today and loved it so much that I have to share it here.
But often, I see people on the mission field who are just concerned about being “selfless” and aren’t loving themselves at all, and I think this strangles their ability to love others and leads to anger, depression and despair.
Jesus was crucified so we wouldn’t have to be. As Bill Johnson says,
“Jesus suffered that we might not have to suffer.”
