Grace

How many times have we messed up, lied, judged and sinned knowing full well that we are sinning? How many times have we ignored our conscience and that tugging of hearts telling us not to act that way? Yet we still end up giving into our sinful desires. However, all that was washed and cleansed with Jesus blood and his body broken for us because we are children of God. No matter what we did, or is doing or have yet to do it’s covered with Jesus blood and that when God sees us He does not see our past and present but Jesus’ perfect life. If it were not because of God’s grace, we would all receive the punishment of death, but because of God’s grace we can be immersed in His love and have a relationship with our Father.

I Believe...

I believe God is wonderful and a savior. He is my savior because he has done so many amazing things in my life. I didn’t grow up in a strict Christian family. My parents didn’t go to church a lot and if they did go, I just followed them. I went to church every Sundays, but I never wanted to go. Most of the time, I was dragged to church by my mom. I was young and naïve back then and didn’t understand why I had to go to church. Even when I got into high school I never went to church. I went on with my life without thinking about God, but my life changed during my senior year of high school. One of my good friends invited me to go to church with her. I was thinking whether I should go or not, but my friend literally dragged me with her. Now that I think about it, it seems as if God had sent my friend to reach out to me. I attended church during the summer, but I didn’t feel that God was with me. But I think I found God again and I feel that he is with me today. God sent me so many people who has helped me grow spiritually my first semester at UIC and I hope that my relationship with God continues to grow even more.
