Exposing the Roots of the Spiritual Orphan. A Revelation of the Father's Love - As the Father s love has brought restoration of intimacy to my marriage and family, it has changed my whole philosophy behind life and ministry. I no longer strive to be holy, but now want to do nothing to hinder the intimate loving relationships that God has given me. No longer is ministry something that I have to work or strive for. The comparisons, competition, and rivalry are fading away.
Spiritual ambition is now but a shadow.
Most of the time, I am motivated by a deep gratitude for being loved and accepted unconditionally by my Father. Ministry is becoming just an overflow of the love of God that flows freely through my marriage and family. I now seek to live my life daily receiving a natural demonstration of the Father s love and affection for me, then giving His love away to the next person I meet. Every act of humility before man destroys the workings of pride in my heart. How to Love God More - People with a strong background in religious indoctrination often find it very difficult for their minds to believe Father loves them unconditionally.
