Recently I read Brennan Manning's Abba's Child. Like all of Manning's books, it is an incredible book worth your time. Manning had a knack for writing about love, and this book does not stray from that pattern.
One of the central themes of Abba's Child is the idea of finding my value in God's love for me. Seriously, God loves me and that should be the primary source of my value and self worth. It makes sense on a cursory level, but when you examine it closely, it becomes rather tricky. How many of us do this? I typically don't, but having the idea brought to the forefront makes me consider it deeply and strive to engage with it.
