That we are to rest in God

I’m a looser, and as it were imprisoned and loaded with restraints, until You refresh me with the light of Your presence, and grant me freedom, and show a friendly countenance toward me.

For instance, the rich tax collector stole lots of money yet over time he saw that he needed a friend like Jesus.  Read Karen Kingsbury’s book Friends of Jesus and discuss how her insights have affected your view of folks in and outside your circle.
