I have no thoughts of my own right now, but here is a thought that I need to remember more often as I go through life:
"... the Christian is the man who no longer seeks his salvation, his deliverance, his justification in himself, but in Jesus Christ alone. He knows that God's Word in Jesus Christ pronounces him guilty, even when he does not feel his guilt, and God's Word in Jesus Christ pronounces him not guilty and righteous, even when he does not feel that he is righteous at all. The Christian no longer lives of himself, by his own claims and his own justification, but by God's claim and God's justification. He lives wholly by God's Word pronounced upon him, whether that Word declares him guilty or innocent." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together
