Such great truths, unpacking, amazing. I have believed, with most of the teachings at Church, over the many years. There is a list of requirements to be acceptable by God.
Most of my life I have had to earn the right to be here.
I get today there are standards, like a good habit of reading your bible, praying. But when it gets, you must, you should be doing. I can't obtain these things, then I have to deal with the guilt and shame.
I am not enough. I am not good enough for God's church.
