God saved us before we were born-He chose us to live a holy life, to show His love and kindness to the world. Sometimes we get stuck in the muck of fear and hold on to that instead of believing that Jesus came to destroy the root of all fear-death. He's reaching down to pull you out of that pit, will you grab hold and hang on?
