“These early Saints were indeed homeless, but they were not hopeless. Their hearts were broken, but their spirits were strong. They had learned a profound and important lesson.

They had discovered that the true source of hope is faith—faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in His infinite Atonement, the one sure foundation upon which to build our lives.” HeartDoeImportantJoySpiritJesusStrongChristLordOur LivesSourceBrokenDependsCircumstancesLessonsBlessingJesus ChristInfiniteFoundationProfoundSaintHopelessHomelessAtonementLord Jesus ChristImportant LessonsPeace And Joy Author:Wilford W.
