God's love for us is greater than we can ever imagine. He gave up his son to die on a cross for all our sins. Even His love showed through Jesus.
In Luke 23:34 Jesus said, " Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. "
Later in Luke one of the criminals hanging beside him asks, " Lord remember me when you come into your kingdom. " Even nearing death Jesus said to him, " Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise. "
God loved the world so much He made a new covenant with man through Jesus where if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved. It's that easy for God to love everyone, and now it's our turn to show his love through us.

Miracles
The Bible talks about Jesus preforming miracles. In Matt. 11:5 it tells us about how he made the blind see and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up. Also in Matt. 14: 25-29, it tells us of Jesus walking on the sea, and telling Peter to come to him. Peter has the faith to step out of the boat and walk to Jesus, walking on the sea below him.
The Bible tells us of all the miracles Jesus preformed in his time, but the ones he has done in our time we can only find out by others sharing. This is going to be my own testimony in the miracles Jesus has done for me. This is going to shock and hurt some of my followers.
I'm going to start with saying I hung out with bad people from a young age. All of my teenage life I smoked weed and drank a lot. The first time God tried to get my attention, I was 18. Headed to school one morning, sitting at a stop sign, I was hit in the driver's side door of my Honda Civic by someone in a Dodge Dakota. I went through hell getting better.
He tried again when I was 23 with a wreck at 150 mph in a dragster. To my surprise I survived both encounters, but I began to mess up again: for about three or four months I was really heavy into cocaine.
It was one Sunday in church that God touched me. Nothing else mattered at that moment, I was standing there and all I could do was cry. I felt that God was with me, letting me know it was ok and nothing I had done in the past would be held against me. It's a feeling like none other, knowing you're in the presents of God.
I finally opened my eyes to everything around me and started doing better. I have a great wife and wonderful son that mean everything to me. I'm around better people now and have a great job. I try to do my best and we go to church every Sunday. All I have to say is when things go wrong in your life keep your head up and watch God's bigger picture unfold. I never thought one day Christ would be using me to spread His word to others.

Praise and worship
To praise is to proclaim or describe the glorious attributes of God with homage and thanksgiving. We should give thanks to the Lord everyday and for everything. I myself give thanks for the sun or rain, just being able to wake up another day, and still having a job. When we praise God we are showing how thankful we are. And to worship is to show profound religious devotion and respect to; adore or venerate. Ok so devotion and respect, singing songs and praying to lift Gods name high. I don't feel a lot of churches do this enough today. It takes a back seat and everything has a time line to follow. God don't want to be put on a time line, he wants us to stand up loud with praise and worship. Sunday at our church that's all we did, some gave testimonies and some rededicated their life to Christ.
