Did you Know?
We need to take responsibility for our own attitudes and actions and not
blame God. God does not hurt us through other people. We all make mistakes and
that is why we need God's forgiveness. God knows we make mistakes. He knows how
we feel and what we are going through. God has more love for us than we cna
imagine.
This is just a small sample of Yong Hui McDonald's book called "A
Journey with Jesus".
"A community rejuvenates the strength and courage of the individuals
within it. The freedom and desire to join a community is an exercise of the
American spirit."
