Forgiveness Is A Choice, Not A Feeling.

Do You Know Something? The Minute That Blood Sacrifice Was Accepted, Jesus Was The First Human Being That Was Ever Born Again. Now That Was Real - It Happened When He Was In Hell.

My Father Was A Mean, Controlling And Manipulative Person For Most Of His Life. He Was Unpredictable And Unstable. As A Result, The Atmosphere Of Our Home Was Super-charged With Fear Because You Never Knew If What You Did Would Make Him Mad Or Not.

In My Relationship With God, I've Learned That If I Follow A 'formula' For How I Spend My Time With Him, Then I'm Just Accomplishing A Checklist Of Things I Feel Obligated To Do To Please Him. This Makes My Spiritual Life More About Doing What I Need To Do To Fulfill An Obligation Than Something Meaningful.

God Will Never Help Us Be Anyone Other Than Ourselves.

We Need To Live The Life That We Say We Believe In.
