At the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption.E. Stanley Jones
To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe.

Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.
