“I will forgive all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases”— forgiveness and healing are intertwined.

The King is in residence— my flag is up and I sing within the castle of my heart.

There is therefore no condemnation in me for I am in Him.

Out of Him my world is upside down, in Him it is right side up.

Formerly partner with all men in condemnation, I am now a partner with Him in reconciliation.

Since He accepts me, I can and do accept myself. My self-rejection is gone— gone in His acceptance of me.

I am dead to sin when I am alive to Him.

I will not affirm my affirmations—I affirm His. Then and then only am I safe.

The free gift of God will invoke within me a free response—the response of my all.

I do not ask for exemption from the operation of God’s laws, for if I do, I ask for exemption from salvation.

Life for me is not going around in circles— it is driving toward goals.

With one point of the compass on Jesus, I let the other point sweep as far as it will— into truth and adventure.
