“This love of God is so powerful that He came close to us, took on our suffering as His own, laid down His life for our sins, brought us back to life, is familiar with all our brokenness and even now WANTS to spend time with us, so intimate that He chooses to live in us. THAT is the love that is in us. Don’t tell me that kind of love is not powerful enough to break down any barriers!” – David Kitani

Everyday the power to show up, the power to walk in faithfulness and obedience….To be full of the grace of God is to walk in God’s blessing despite what’s going on in our life.” – Chase Andre
