The First Step in Knowing Who You Are
We all feel pressure to a different degree and in different parts of our lives. When that happens, our identities become tied to our achievements. Some of you put pressure on yourself to be “godlier”. But that's not the way the God of the Bible works. God is after a relationship with you.
