WOW is all I have to say. I recommend this book to anyone struggling in their faith. Someone who has heard it wrong their entire lives. Someone who is broken and needs Jesus. This is the book for you. Jesus Loves you we are the church...

What an amazing ending about who we are the church. A church is not a building as some believe. It's just a building as we come together thats when we become the church. Jesus made us to be the church we are the body it's a place where we get our strength. Jesus wants us to come broken to Him that's when He can work on us. When we all come to Him as we are together as one body that's when we are beautiful...

What an eye opening chapter on what we should be giving God credit for because He did create all things that are good and bring Glory to Him. Our jobs, our creativity, our every moment of our lives. God can do anything we just need to see what He has already done and know He is the reason He uses us to bring out the gifts in ourselves that He uses for His Glory. Great chapter...

When someone asks Are you a Christian? We shouldn't say We'll I'm trying. We are not trying to be God's daughter or son we just are. He is Our Eternal Father. Simple how great is the gift you have been given by Jesus, you can't help but follow him. He gave his life for us. We should gives purs back to him. We shouldn't take advantage of His grace. It's free it's life giving...

Grace is what is covered in this chapter. God knows what we do who we are and what we are going to do before we do it. He went to the cross for it two thousand years ago. He did it for our sins, filth, guilt, and shame. He justifies the unholy, the wicked blameless. When we mess up He makes us pure, spotless blameless, perfect, and holy giving us true freedom. He gives us unfailing love and grace...

We need to know this world can be hard sometimes and painful but God promises to be with us through the hard times through the pain through the hurt and suffering. Jesus took it all on the cross. He never promised us things would be easy in life but that He would be there with us guiding us, walking with us and bringing us through all that we go through to help to bring us up in growth to leave to old behind...

We cannot be broken as Children of God He gives us not only peace, good health, comfort, compassion, protection. He gives us joy no matter what we are going through we can still come out of it and go through it with joy in our hearts anyone who messes with a Child of God will suffer the consequences. God doesn't put up with people that touch or try to go against His anointed Children...

We really need to throw the thought out front our mind about religion. It's always been about the true belief in God. Where true freedom and true life comes from. The blessings he gives us do not come from the works we do but from Him.We we're created to do for God. He created us in His imagine so He ultimately gets all the Glory. In return He gives us a peace that goes against all understanding of peace...

One story that just blew my mind was about the Jonah and the whale story in actuality it was a fish. He was in its belly for 3 days. Here is what just changed everything for me Jonah's story isn't about Jonah. Jonah isn't about us as people. Jonah's story is about how Jesus was in the tomb in the world for 3 days...BOOM!!!! Mind Blown.

We need to stop comparing ourselves to others and really look at what God has given us. The Bible is about people like us and the struggles they went through that's why we can relate. We need to stop looking at it as a Rule Book it's a revelation of God's Love for us...
