  • Saturday Scripture

    When I first saw this verse, my heart rejoiced. I love God. I love music. I struggled realizing that God could love me with my disability and unloveliness. Then, I read this verse, I mean, really read it. How I hope it brings you great joy as well! Selah.

  • Ephesians 2:14-22, Part 1
