A Reminder of My Sinfulness and His Grace

Posted by Julie Ganschow | Dec 6, 2017 | Anger, Grace, Sin |

Thing’s have been stressful in my world for the past couple of months. It seems that everything has been what I would call out of control since my dad died in late September.

As I was sitting on an airplane very early this morning, I was thinking and praying about yesterday. Actually, I was confessing.

Your identity hasn’t changed, either. You may feel incomplete as you are now, but God says you are complete in Him.
