Today: A Day to Rejoice in the Lord: Today

But, make no mistake, that god is NOT the God of the Bible.

Your word vs. God’s WORD
You say, “It’s impossible.”… God says, “All things are possible.”
You say, “I’m too tired.”… God says, “I will give you rest.”
You say, “Nobody really loves me.”… God says, “I love you.”
