We need to stop making what people did to us bigger than what Jesus did for us.
If we don't build our Spiritual Core our world is going to collapse.
I also came to understand that our authenticity (or lack thereof) is made evident by the fruit that our life is bearing.
Often the very things that you think have disqualified you are the ones that qualify you to do what God has called you to do.
Our relationship with God flows out of our love for God.
If we don't put our faith to work we will soon discover that we have a faith that doesn't work!
