I grew up Southern Baptist.
Long story short I grew up feeling like I could never make myself good enough for God.
It wasn't until the last year or so that I realized what changed the way I looked at God and The Church. I realized that God doesn't want us at our best, but at our worst.
If you feel like you can't ever clean yourself up enough, remember that you're NEVER going to be clean enough.
When I used to claim to be agnostic or atheist (cause I didn't really know what I was talking about) I used to see Christians and see how many of them weren't perfect. They made mistakes.
This confused me, but now it makes sense. We need God because we are aren't perfect.
I'm not perfect because I'm a Christian. I'm Christian because I'm in desperate need of Gods grace and mercy. That's all there is to it.
I was gonna keep this post even more simple than that, but this is what I ended up with.
Funny how this post originally started out about racing...
