There is nothing you need to ...

There is nothing you need to do to make yourself more acceptable to God. You don\'t have to work harder, nor do you need to change the kind of work you do. You don\'t have to give more money to charitable organizations. The reality is, God doesn\'t want you to give anyone anything if you only do it to impress God! God does not love you or find you acceptable because of anything that you do. God loves you and accepts you because you are a part of God.

My purpose is to teach and demonstrate what is possible. To demonstrate love of God and good. Remember what my role is as a woman: to be... good. My role as a mother: to teach, support and nurture my offspring. My role as a grandmother: to remind everybody - right where you are, God is.
