How focused are you on yourself? Sometimes, we struggle with perfectionism, control, and activism, which can sometimes rub off on our spiritual life. Jesus does not demand great actions from us; instead, the invitation is to live in surrender and gratitude to Him. At times, we can take a more Pelagian approach where more emphasis is given to our efforts, initiatives, and self-improvement—our achievement of holiness rather than the primacy given to God, which is His work. This gift of grace is the sweet way of love that Jesus sets before the little and the poor, and that’s what we’ll talk about in this episode.

Peace Not Panic (Rewind)
We have this tendency that we want to fix or clean-up certain things first before we let the Lord in. We are afraid that our place, our lives are messy—that it can be too much for anyone even for God to handle. But God is NOT panicking, he’s completely in control.
