at the end of the day
In the everyday living it is easy to make the Gospel about something less; we find ways to make it about qualification, rules, comparison, us verses them.

I find it ironic that the One who tells us over and over again “do not fear” happens to be the One we fear the most. We are afraid we aren’t good enough for Him. We are afraid we are disappointing Him. We are afraid to talk to Him, because we might say the wrong […]
