Pick Up My Mat

We were formed in the image of God and born into friendship with him. He didn’t make us to be mindless puppets and bow to his every whim. He gave us free will in the hopes that we would freely choose him over everything else. But then darkness entered the picture. A villain deceived us, sewing doubt, and encouraging us to distrust our Creator. We were led to believe he was holding out on us and in an act of disobedience, a wedge was driven between us and our Creator.

The villain in this story wants us forever separated from the love of our Creator, and he is waging a war against our hearts doing everything to separate us from the love of God. But we have not been abandoned. God made a way for us to be redeemed.
