10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

DO

God calls us to be.  

Be aware that it is He that is active in us.

He is not providing spiritual experiences for us daily.

He is changing us inside so that like a little child we respond.

Fear-My Father has that.

Anger-My Father fixes that.  

Whatever we face we know the our God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit is with us.

FOLLOW
