     | 5,952 views

Out of love God created mankind, each one of us fearfully and wonderfully made. He made us in His own image with the ...read more

    There are so many hurting people in our world and we often feel that we have nothing to offer that will provide any real sense of peace or joy. We can be supportive, we can offer prayer, we can send gifts, and all of these things are great, but, the one
