Who Am I
Like many individuals, I tend to think God’s plans are on me. But they’re not – they’re on Him. I don’t need to have all the answers ahead of time, I don’t need to know the route He’s taking me. I just need to be willing to be used by Him.

He would be used by God in ways he’d never dreamed possible. Best of all, he would witness first-hand the foreshadowing of God’s plan of redemption.

Truth is, we are all on the same level. We have all failed at some point or another. Yet though we fail, we try again. Though we fall, we rise again. Because He is the God of the do-overs. Every morning, He offers us a fresh start (see John 21). He loves us unconditionally, and nothing can ever change that.
