I would have to say that the most important lesson I've learned over the last few months is that God simply wants us to share our lives with others. Be real and honest enough to know your shortcomings, take them to our Loving Father and let Him love us.  Please know that you are His beloved children and He is our Abba.  It's wonderful to see the love of Christ in His people.  All the folks at Family Christian Book Store and The Katina's concert that I met and talked with are wanting that intimacy and joy that comes from knowing Christ Jesus!

Remember, Jesus tells us that the work of God is to "believe in the One whom He has sent." (John 6:29) My prayer is that you would respond to the love God has for you with thanksgiving and joy. And to know that "there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." (Romans 8:1-2)
