Let’s ask God to give us a greater appreciation for His love and a healthier respect for His Word.

Today Can Be Different Posted on July 9, 2022 by SherylJuly 9, 2022

We have a choice: Believe the truth of who God is, accept His love, and receive His offer of mercy. Or continue to believe the lie that we have no place at His throne when we’ve acted unworthily.
