Yet, it holds a particularly profound significance in Hebrew and Jewish traditions, where it is not merely an emotion but a way of life.This deep-rooted appreciation for blessings received has profoundly impacted Christianity and, subsequently, American culture and the world at large.

When Helplessness Becomes Power

Along this path, our aim is to taste the freedom of approaching God on His terms, without the need for our own performance. For many, this promising start is succeeded by years of striving to lead a spiritual life. Why? I believe it’s because a part of our inner makeup is inherently religious. “Religion” revolves around my endeavors to please God. Genuine spirituality revolves around my relationship with God through Christ, given freely and received freely.
