Contributed by John Ong on Nov 15, 2017

God offers us a great banquet that sometimes we doubted for being too good to be true, but we can prove to ourselves that our Lord’s offer is far more than what we thought if we only surrender to him and accept His calling.

And because of these unnecessary things that we tend to value, we have ignored ...read more
