It is a proclamation of accomplishment for someone who has had the deck stacked against him. Its a way of saying that, "In spite of the length of the journey; in spite of the roughness ...read more

Gods faithfulness, is not based on our faithfulness, or on the faithfulness of those who are around us. TBS.(the bible says) no matter what, He ...read more
