    God can restore anything back, according to His will. He is our divine co-partner in life, therefore we need to acknowledge Him and have faith in Him.

    God’s first and last thought is the welfare of his children! The Provision of the Cross is an act of covenant. It is not a half-job effort to fix things. It is a plan that would never turn back!

The context in which we use it is to describe the meaning that blood-related families are more important than anyone else.

If there’s very much said about hell or the ...read more
