from the group:

What we must avoid is the fear of not being worthy to work with the Spirit of Christ in spiritual transformation and union. Nothing is beyond the power of grace to transform us. Even the remnants and memories of our sins and mistakes, of our handicaps and disabilities become the prime material of our transformation. All can be overcome in the grace of Christ Jesus. We must not be like the third servant who hid the master’s investment capital and lived only in his fear.
