After years of abuse, it was difficult for me to understand God's love. It took me years to truly understand it.

Christianity is about the heart, and the Bible says that we cannot get to heaven on our own good works. No matter how good we are, we cannot be good enough, because God is perfect, and we're always going to be less than perfect.

God's love for me is perfect because it's based on Him not on me. So even when I failed He kept loving me.

You're not free, unless you come to the place where you have nothing to prove.

God is the Source of real love, joy, peace, wisdom and everything else we all need to be the people He has created us to be.

Acts 10:38 says, “See how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth who went about doing good.” He just got up every day and did good. Everywhere he went, even though he had a purpose and he was headed somewhere, he let himself be interrupted by the needs of people. So often we study the steps of Jesus. Maybe we need to study the stops of Jesus. The things that he stopped for, the things that interrupted his plan, where he would alter his plan and help somebody here and there.

God's grace justifies sinners, but it never justifies sin!
