"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Matthew 16:16

2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

If God is truly your Father, the Church must become the family you choose to love and sacrifice for.

John 10:27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” #QuietTimeWithGod

Begin to memorialize specific acts of God’s faithfulness in your life by #journaling about what He has done, so that when you experience the difficult days which ARE COMING you may remember what He has brought you through.
