Our scars are a witness to the world. They are apart of our story. Healed wounds that are symbols that God has restored us.

I believe that God is not lost. He is in the middle with us right now. If people will take a few moments and take this journey, hope will rise up in their hearts. I believe that.

God is not a taker. God is a giver.

People say all the time 'I don't have a good testimony' because they think their story has to involve some dramatic story of change from 'bad' to 'good'. But Jesus didn't come to save people this way. Sin doesn't make us bad it makes us dead. Jesus came to save by bringing the dead to life. And that's an amazing testimony.

Sin has a way of shrinking God down and puffing ourselves up.

The two great moments in human history are the day that Christ was born and the day He was raised from the dead. These are represented by Christmas and Easter - the two biggest holidays for the church. People who don't even go to church do go on these days.

Gratitude grows from a seed called grace. If you're not grateful you might still be trying to earn what God freely gives.
