Often, we shed our outlook in a negative light. I can't do it.... or it's too hard or even impossible... or no one loves me... or I can't forgive myself.
However, God tells us very clearly in His Word - The Bible - that quite the opposite is true. He does care, He Loves, He forgives, He makes all things possible.
Here are just a few of the common statements we make, God's response to them, and where you can find it in The Bible.
