allow me to be at my most eloquent in response:WOW!!!!!!!!!
It has been a while since you posted, but the wait was surely worthwhile.
The Father knows His children. He knows their names, their needs and desires,their fragrance,their limitions so far as trials and temptations are concerned.
What a beautiful math: the more we sacrifice of our lives,our resources,time,and talents,the more He gives us of His bounty. I’d say that this equation always tips in our favor. Here’s a formula that we believers are familiar with:better is one day in His house, better is one day in His courts,than thousands elsewhere.
He gives and takes away,He gives and takes away. My heart will choose to say:blessed be the name of the Lord!!
