Evelyn WaughThe worse I am, the more I need God. I can't shut myself out from His mercy. That is what it would mean; starting a life with you, without Him.
About This Quote
The worse I am, the more I need God. I can't shut myself out from His mercy. That is what it would mean; starting a life with you, without Him. It would mean not being able to receive the blessings of the Lord.
It would mean not being able to serve Him and get closer to Him. In fact, it would mean shutting myself out from His mercy and love, which is why this life is not worth living if we're going to be separate from Him. If we want a life that's full of peace and joy, then we have to let God into that life.
