Jean-Henri Merle d'Aubigne quotes

-- Jean-Henri Merle d'Aubigne

You don’t have to be part of a club to know Jesus. And you don’t have to be part of a scene to know Jesus. And you don’t have to be perfect to know Jesus. You don’t even have to be semi-perfect to know Jesus. You just have to be willing, and open, and honest.
