He has a way of drawing His loves back to Himself. A psyche separated from the peace (and the freedom) of Christ is liable to entangle itself in all sorts of folly and vanity, or confused witchcraft.

Yes, you now have the power to be oppressed: because as long as you look to be a victim, you will find yourself to be a victim.
