Introduction	My journey of becoming more like Christ by understanding the Gospel in a deeper way and depending more on the finished work of Jesus on the cross and less on myself and any counterfeit god. I'm finding my voice and identity with the confidence of who I am in Christ, attempting to die daily, take up my cross, and follow my Shepherd. Those things, along with the Holy Spirit are enabling me to emulate what Jesus said, did, and taught, which in essence, is love. My goal is to love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, strength, and mind, and love others like myself. I am finding freedom by allowing the Holy Spirit and the free gift of grace to heal me and allow me to live more like an adopted, fully accepted and secure child of God. Getting to a place where I can say with Paul, follow me as I follow Christ. Obeying the calling to Go, and make disciples. And trying to give the greatest gift any human being could ever receive -- an introduction to the God who loves them. #hisnameisjesus #makeJesusfamous
