Jesus is Lord; we are not. Jesus is King; we are not…

“Jesus is Lord; we are not. Jesus is King; we are not. Jesus is Savior; we are not. The best part is that this is good new. Only when we humbly call on God to speak into our lives-knowing if he doesn't, we won't succeed-are we actually in a safe place.” quote by Jefferson Bethke
