Verse of the Week
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
- 2 Corinthians 12:9
Jesus didn't come to save those who had already been delivered. He came to save those who had lost their way and/or did not believe in His mercy and power. You do not have to have this perfect image in front of the Father. No one is perfect, and no one knows that better than God. It is when we fall short and where we lack that He shows his immense grace and power to us. He wants those opportunities to show you how great a God He is and how he can do the unimaginable. So don't get hung up on all the things you aren't, what you have yet to achieve, or what you aren't able to do, because God made us who we are for a reason and loves us no matter what.

Verse of the Week
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
- Hebrews 11:1
It is difficult for anyone to believe something they can not physically see - it's just human nature. But God reveals himself to us in numerous ways throughout our lives so that we feel his presence, and know he's watching over us. People tend to attribute great happenings in their lives to things like luck and good karma, but it is really His divine mercy and blessings that provides us all the great things we have.
Faith is necessary for all believers because it is what gets us through the trials and problems that arise. Without it as a strong foundation, we will continue to find ourselves falling short of His glory, and doing things we know we should not. Build up your faith so you can continue to cultivate a strong relationship with the Father, and receive his love in full.
