    There’s never a right time to do the wrong thing. Holding on to bitterness is one of those many wrongs thing we do. Most never admitt it’s devastation until it’s too late. Let’s examine this together!

    Do you know what a Christian should be like? It may surprise you to learn what God approves of and what He wants to take out of your character.
