Does God accept us just the way that we are? Whenever I get asked that question, I like to turn to John chapter three when Jesus has a conversation with Nicodemus.
My children are learning cause and effect. They don’t realize their actions cause problems. Similarly, we often downplay our sins, distancing ourselves from their severity. It is by recognizing our sins that we see the depth of God’s grace.
The "Footprints in the Sand" poem beautifully illustrates Jesus carrying us through tough times. But how do we know He's with us today? By spending time reading the Bible can we see Jesus walking with us during the difficult times of life.
