God's Character, Trusting in God

I am going to listen to what God says I am

This morning, I went to the women's bible study. I felt like I was not good enough and maybe I did not belong there. Why do I let these thoughts slip into my head?

I can be a hypocrite.

Some days, I wish that I was a better Christian. I know that God loves me right where I am at, but I wish that I was free from sin. I would love to be worthy of God everyday. I am not. I am so thankful that God loves me anyway. Do you ever judge… Continue reading I can be a hypocrite.
