It should raise the  chin of the sinner who sees himself as garbage. It should give hope to  the one who cannot seem to change himself&#8230; bearing the crushing cross of the flesh. For God <em>Himself<\/em> took our flesh, and raised it to the height of Heaven. <\/p>\n<p>So we need not become an angel, nor strive to become a god, as some mistakenly claim. We need to simply become <em>fully human<\/em>. And this&#8212;praise Jesus&#8212;happens entirely through the gift of God&#8217;s grace, given to us in Baptism, and actuated through repentance and trust in His mercy. Through becoming little, not big. Little <em>like a child. <\/em> <\/p>\n<p>To become fully human is to live in Christ who is in Heaven&#8230; and to invite Christ to live in you, here on earth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: rgb(102, 0, 0);\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/?page_id=279\"><font size=\"2\" color=\"#ffffff\">Click here to <strong>Unsubscribe<\/strong> or <strong>Subscribe<\/strong> to this Journal.&nbsp;<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"Courier\"><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; NEVER before had it happened.
