Finishing the exchange looks like surrendering the last part of me that fails to see Him as good and that fails to see myself as beloved. 

Finish the exchange. What hand have I kept hidden behind my back just in case He isn't kind? What has the Father hidden for you that you cannot access because of what you have hidden from Him? 

In His sovereignty, God has decided to reveal Himself to us as kind. The Father in His kindness wants to cause the most callous places in your heart to become the most tender. 

Can you experience renewal without first being emptied? Is it possible to renovate a house without making a mess? If He is emptying you it is because He is making room for new wine. 

Romans 2:4. Kindness could be the most important evangelistic tool the church has ever been given. His forgiveness is kind and tender hearted. Pleasing a kind God trumps trying to appease a bitter God. 

Will you ever fully give yourself to seeking someone you do not fully trust? Living in authentic trust generates diligent seeking. Trust has a significant impact on the way we seek Him.

Matthew 8. His desire is much stronger than my feelings that I am undesirable. He is giving you His perspective instead of a leper consciousness. 

Matthew 8. He finds us desirable and He chooses to love us even when we feel like everything in us is falling apart. Come out of agreement with every lie that says, "I know He can but will He?" 

What is the purpose of the wilderness? Abba ensures that what you used to be a slave to will never chase you again. There are aspects of His countenance reserved for the man that would dare to be still. Vulnerability may be more valuable to leading others into beloved identity than every other leadership quality and gifting combined. 

God wants to overwhelm you by the kindness and goodness of His love. There is an intimacy we are being invited into in the year 2020 that is going to test everything we think we know about beloved identity. He is going to put us in the oil of beloved identity and we are going to experience a renewal that never ends.
