Jim,
 
WOW I just wanted to say thank you for that beautiful post.  I was in tears rejoicing that JESUS LOVES ME    WWWWHHHHHHEEEEEEEE.  It just does not get any better than that.  I too have experience the BURDEN of trying to live "mixture", and the author was absolutely right about self condemnation, and other burdens that go with it.  We are so conditioned by what we were/are taught that it literally takes a "miracle" of the HOLY SPIRIT to break the bondage !!!!
 
 
"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor debth, nor ANY OTHER CREATED THING, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPERATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD, WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD"   ROMANS 8:37--39
 
Now, I could be wrong, but it seems to me that pretty much covers EVERYTHING !!!!
 
ALL PRAISE, GLORY AND HONOR TO JESUS----THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH.
