About Me

The greatest thing about me is that God loves me and accepts me unconditionally. God has placed every desire in my heart that longs for anything of Him because in and of myself, I can only offer nothing. I want very much to always make Him the first thing I turn to when I am in need. There is no living being that can offer me what He can. He is more than enough. He took me from a slave to sin to an heir to his kingdom completely by his own grace because God knows that my own "righteousness" could never be enough.
