Richard J. Foster Quotes About Study

• En el capítulo sobre el estudio consideramos la importancia de observarnos a nosotros mismos para ver con qué frecuencia nuestro discurso es un intento frenético de explicar y justificar nuestras acciones. Habiendo visto esto en nosotros mismos, experimentemos con hacer actos sin ninguna palabra de explicación. Observamos nuestra sensación de miedo a que la gente malinterprete por qué hemos hecho lo que hemos hecho. Tratamos de permitir que Dios sea nuestro justificador.
