No one is a member of the body of Christ, the Church, because they deserve to be. None of us got God’s attention by our perfection because none of us are faultless. If you believe you’re perfect please don’t HANG with the rest of us because we’re MESSED UP. We’re PEOPLE saved by the grace of God and we’re very grateful for that – but we’re still not flawless.

The truth is – even the most mature among us still struggle with some things. We have general success facing our anxieties and temptations but we still have them. We’ve made progress but we still have issues and we still make mistakes. The good news is it is not about our ability to keep the rules or to get it right.

Freedom comes when we understand its not what we do, its what He’s done!
