It's not easy or pretty, but when we draw near to Him, He is good on His word to draw near to us. When we need His grace most and seek it, He is always gracious to share. <br/><br/>Great post.

It can turn into all about getting people to like what’s going on, instead of really following Jesus as he tells us in Scripture.

Ouch, it hurts, and can hurt badly. But what’s the alternative. A numbing of the soul and it’s eventual shrivelling in smallness and then death.
