God doesn't want our successes. He wants us. Your existence doesn't have to be justified by your accomplishments. Your significance, your value has already been proven and paid for by God, who gave His one and only son so that you may have eternal life. So that you can have the life that He paid for. Free of charge.

Don't let the symbol of our worship be a dollar sign when it should be a cross.

Don't let the symbol of our worship be a dollar sign when it should be a cross.

When we own our sin and realize the sheer weight of it, when we dig down beyond the surface to the root of our sins and grasp the weight of it all - it magnifies what Christ did for us that much more.  Thank God that no matter our sins, we have a savior with which we can walk in joy.
