God

"Everything I rejected about God was not God, it was religion...It was people who go to church and do not show the love of Jesus, people who don't practice what they preach, people who are indifferent to the poor and suffering...I had rejected that, but guess what?  Jesus also rejected that...Jesus was and is the enemy of dead religion.  The most insidious lie we can believe about God is that He is somehow against us.  No, a thousand times no!  God is FOR you in every imaginable way for now and all of eternity."
Mark Batterson from:  IF - Trading Your If Only Regrets for God's What If Possibilities.  An encouraging read for sure.  Peace...
