I always thought I had to earn God's love and approval. I kept trying, but it never seemed like I could do it, and I thought, "Man, what's wrong with me?" A friend of mine was like, "Man, you're full of it. You're trying to do what Christ has already done: You're trying to earn your salvation and you can't - it's a free gift. " It sounded too good to be true. He said, "You need to start reading the Bible for yourself and stop taking everyone else's word for it. " When I really started to do this, I realized God loved me no matter what.
