If the Son of God faced rejection, why do you expect the world to accept you? Don't put your worth in what others think about you. Human approval is temporary and empty. Seeking validation from people will only leave you exhausted and distracted from your purpose. Instead, commit your life to serving God and walking in His will. Pastor Kornegay

Hard truth hits differently when you’re trying to follow Jesus. It exposes those places you’ve been trying to avoid—the parts of your heart you’d rather keep quiet.

Follow Christ for the sake of Christ; He is worthy!”— Paul Washer We ruin our lives by our sinful choices. It is not the Lord's fault you messed up your life. Don't go around blaming Him for your troubles. You need to take responsibility for your own choices. God is not the one who tempts us to do that which is wrong. That would be
