    We have freedom in Christ as God’s people. Use that freedom, not for license to live selfishly, but to worship God completely… and love the people in your life unselfishly. Be free… be free to love.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,783 views

    Of all of the dreams that God has given to women it occurs to me that probably no other dream is of a higher nature than that of being a mother. A mother’s love for her children is, at times, nothing short of astonishing.

    Be something far greater than an optimist. Be a faith filled doer of the will of God… do not wait for things to improve; improve them… do not wait for a new tomorrow… fill your heart with faith... and bring a new tomorrow into being.

    “A New Tomorrow” Revelation 21:1-6 Introduction They have a saying in Vienna, Austria: “The situation is hopeless, but not serious.” It’s an interesting contradiction in terms.
