"Defined by Christ," by Toni Sorenson

In spite of outward smiles, many people go through the motions
attending church, giving service, and nurturing families, while
feeling empty, broken, doubtful, and even guilty inside.
 They tell themselves if they only work harder, they'd
somehow earn the blessings of peace, security, and unconditional
love they hunger for.



Using the scriptures, words of prophets, insightful analogies,
and stories drawn from poignant personal experiences,
best-selling author Toni Sorenson explains that simply by the
virtue of being a child of God, each of us is already loved
beyond comprehension, without boundaries or conditions. No
matter what our disappointment or failure or loss may be,
allowing ourselves to be defined by Christ will lift us out of
the darkness and into His light.



That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull.
