So there's never really any inner peace until we let Jesus bring us home to Him. It took Jesus dying on the cross to pay for all of your sin, but because He did, He made it possible for your war with God to end; for you to finally experience that awesome feeling of knowing that you are at peace with your God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/waiting-for-tomorrow-s-gift-5726 2009-09-09T14:39:58-05:00 When you finally see what God is putting together behind closed doors for you, you're going to be forever grateful.

But Jesus came to Bethlehem ultimately to die on Skull Hill. He died on that cross to carry all the guilt and all the hell of all your sin so you could finally come home to the love that you've been looking for your whole life.
