     | 8,519 views

    When the first thing you do is seek Him and His Kingdom and His righteousness, then you realize that God really can be trusted. And your worries, especially about temporal things like money and stuff just start to disappear.

    How many of you enjoy wasting time? I don't mean doing things that are just not constructive like watching TV or reading a comic book. I mean how many of you like to just sit and do absolutely nothing, especially when there are things that need to be done? Very few people would say they enjoy doing ...read more
