Inadequate divine esteem

The fundamental problem with most of us is not deficient self-esteem but inadequate divine-esteem. As we submit ourselves to God, [and recognize] that ultimately he operates for his own name's sake, and that his investment in us relates to agendas far greater than ourselves, we will treasure the grace which he reaches out to us. (Daniel I. Block, The New International Commentary on the Old Testament: The Book of Ezekiel: Chapter 1-24)

Awesome!!From someone with a pretty broken background (and still enough broken pieces in the present) but who has stubbornly refused to 'turn back to Egypt' for help or relief because of realizing that would be compromising love and trust of Him, I can strongly attest to the 'far greater agenda' (than my own healing) and the immeasureably greater privilege of discovering something much greater than myself to get lost in.Post on brother Darryl. Post on!
