    Brokenness is a spiritual state that draws God's attention. This condition allows us to better understand ourselves and Him.

    True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or comparison, but from humble confession and receiving the mercy and love found in Jesus Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a scoreboard in our heart.
