When grace moves in... guilt moves out

I see that a lot in my own life and in the lives of others.Does the presence of pain mean the absence of God?

God understands how you feel and has faced what you face.

Jesus isn't a God who stayed on the mountaintop - he's a Savior who came down and lived and worked with the people.

When you are in the final days of your life, what will you want? Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame? Will you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your car? Will you find comfort in rereading your financial statement? Of course not. What will matter then will be people. If relationships will matter most then, shouldn't they matter most now?

If hurts were hairs, we'd all look like grizzlies.

God has work for you to do.
