The Lord Will Perfect That Which Concerns Me

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Nov 19, 2021

The worst thing that can happen to anyone is for the mercy of God to depart from the person. But when the mercy of God is on you and with you, you can be confident, you can be assured, that God will certainly perfect ALL that concerns you.
