INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES....

Christians are no better people than non-Christians, we are just aware...aware
of His existence and His transforming power.  We should strive to be humble and
not compare ourselves to one another, as God loves us all.

I was sent the following poem by a close friend.  I believe it captures the very heart of a truly
humble and broken Christian.  It is said that the more broken, humble,
and vulnerable we are, the more we will be able to feel God's presence.
