Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 25, 2015

God does help those who can’t help themselves! We’re disabled by sin, yet God still loves us too much to leave us in the mess we’re in. Admitting our powerlessness is the first step on the road to recovery and to receiving power from Above.

Humility

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 24, 2020
