For it is then when the Lord intervenes to do a work that we could not do for ourselves.”

“If through faith you have placed your eternal destiny in the loving hands of Jesus Christ, you can be sure that God is at work, shaping the events and circumstances of your life into a beautiful mosaic that will reveal His Son to the men and women around you.

We're all one.”
