A daily walk in faith, hope and love
For anyone who is Christian, one of the truths or revelations you want to ensure you have grasped is 'God is father, and God is love'.

Revelations 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. Control is defined one way as 'The power to manage or restrain or cause things to happen as intended.' Some thrive... Continue Reading →
