By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, andContinue reading “must love”

For even when we came into Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were afflicted in every way—disputes without and fears within.
