Know where you stand

Try out for a team and you want to know if you are on the team.

Audition for a play and you want to know if you get a part.

Take a test and you want to know your score.

We need to know where we stand. We want to know where we stand.

So where do you stand with God? You are living your life imperfectly but trying to do right. So where do you stand?

Pray to God and ask him where you stand. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised with the answer.

- JSH 1:29
