I wanted to share a paragraphs with all of ya'll that I read in Phillip Yancey's flip book version of "What's So Amazing About Grace?"

"Not long ago I received in the mail a postcard from a friend that had on it only six words "I am the one Jesus loves." I smiled when I saw the return address, for my friend excels at these pious slogans. When I called him, though, he told me the slogan came from the author and speaker Brennan Manning. At a seminar, Manning referred to Jesus closest friend on earth, the disciple named John, identified in the Gospels as "the one Jesus loved." Manning said "If John were to be asked "What is your primary identity in life? He wouldn't reply "I am a disciple, an apostle, an evangelist, an author of one of the four Gospels," but rather he would say, "I am the one Jesus loves."

Last night at our Tuesday night accountability meeting this thought was brought up, and a question arose from that discussion.

"What would my life be like if I embraced this as my identity?"
