It is not God’s way for us to isolate ourselves away from the needy. "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." ~ Matthew 6:33 If we work for God, we invest in the eternal.

Assuredly, confidence builds as one delves into scripture. ... if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. ~ 1st John 3:21 He wants to know our faith. Pray if it all depends on you, be faithful; righteous to Him. As a babe suckling on the roof of heaven, glory is from Him. ● No escape when reckoning comes due, ALL WILL SHAMEFULLY KNEEL BEFORE HIM. |
