You are saved, not because of what you do, but because of what Christ did. And you are special, not because of what you do, but because of whose you are. And you are his. And because we are his, let's forget the shortcuts and stay on the main road. He knows the way. He drew the map. He knows the way home.

No one wants your worries...not even you. Anxiety comes at a high cost. Let Jesus lead you beside still waters.
