Jesus didn’t come to oppress anyone. He came to liberate us from the oppressive regime of legalism, doubt, pride and sin.
When you’re afraid of judgement (1 John 4:18: perfect love casts out all fear), it ties you up so that you do not experience freedom.
Hating yourself doesn’t help you love people.
Cocoon in the Spirit: rest in what Jesus won for you. You must allow His beautiful truth to permeate your heart on the inside before change on the outside is even possible.

2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Galatians 5:1
For FREEDOM Christ set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:16–18, But I say, walk by the Spirit, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would. But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law. read more
