Our differences will also show up from time to time, underscoring the uniqueness of our personal endowments, the variety of our experiences, and the creativity of our sovereign God.

All the words that appear in the inner circle are attributes of God. To develop a relationship with Him we must know the implications of each for our lives. We need truth. His Word contains it. We need the ability to understand the truth. His Spirit will teach us. We need strength to cope with inner turmoil. His is omnipotent. We need a model to follow. Christ is God in human form. We need standards. He is righteous. We need acceptance. He is love. We need to know who is in charge. He is.

It is our responsibility to discover our talents, to accept them as from God, to develop them through education and training, and to use them for His glory.

But love doesn't do what's easy. Love does what's necessary and right.

How do you love your children?By doing what's best for them.Then how would you love yourself?The same way. By doing what's best for you.How do you find out what's best for you?Read the Word of God.Then how do you love yourself? By doing what the Word of God says.
