    Obviously, God wants us to be a happy, satisfied people. We shouldn’t be restless & jealous, always chafing about what we don’t have. There should be a spirit of thankfulness in us that brands us as belonging to Him.

We often read it in times of stress or sorrow. But I would like you to see it in a slightly different way this morning. Now ...read more
