Excerpt:
"We cannot judge the work of God’s Spirit by evaluating human performance. You look at my human performance, my human nature does not love. There are people that I do not love in the human but that does not mean I do not have love. It means that God’s Spirit is performing that love in me. By self-sacrificing, by laying down one’s life for someone else. We try to love people with human effort, and it just does not work out. We fail. It seems like we succeed at times, but we just fail. God's Spirit is loving, it is ministering through us, if indeed we have the Spirit of Christ."
