    Mary’s blessing came as a result of her willingness to be used of God. I’m convinced that it is not our "fullness" that attracts God, but our "emptiness". If you are willing to be used of God, and learn to be emptied of "self", then God will use you to d

Some people describe that glass as half empty. Those are the pessimists. Others see that glass as being half full. They are ...read more
