Our Dependence on Christ
It is the discipline of a lifetime and we cannot do it all at once. We are absolutely dependent, and yet, strange to say, the last thing we learn spiritually is to make nothing of ourselves. Our Dependence on Christ changes who, what and why we are, which is for the glory of God.
