Christ died for you knowing full well everything you will ever do. When you screw up he's not surprised or disappointed so don't hide from him. Call on him for strength and forgiveness.
What is your only comfort in life and in death?
That I am not my own, but belong—body and soul, in life and in death—to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.
He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood,
and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.

A true act of love is not giving what you would want to receive or even what comes easily for you. A true act of love is giving what the other person needs no matter the cost to you. That's what God, through Jesus, did for us.
@REDACTEDSpider But wouldn't those women that you say would have their voting rights destroyed typically be conservative women since liberal women tend to keep their maiden name more than conservative women?
Never forget that, while we live in a world that idealizes independence and self-sufficiency, we will always need Jesus Christ as our savior as the only one who can overcome our brokenness and inadequacies.
Are we able to worship God on our own?
Of course we are and we should - in all things! But all things also includes in community and in communion with others.
Don’t neglect meeting together.
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” https://t.co/dpvmliYmMf
It is a true saying that people not always remember what you said as much as how you made them feel. So, make sure you make people feel heard and loved.
@CTULocal1 The students deserve a quality education! Unfortunately they can’t get that in your schools and you helped block their ability of choice to get it elsewhere.
A friend who recently started reading the Bible asked me why some parts are so dark. My answer: it’s only by seeing how great the darkness in the world and in ourselves that we can begin to fathom how great our need for a savior and how great that savior had to be.
I'll love thee in life, I will love thee in death,
and praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath,
and say when the deathdew lies cold on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
