    When we forgive others, we are also setting ourselves free.

    based on 2 ratings

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,696 views

    Hard work has limited appeal if its only purpose is to accumulate riches or make us more comfortable. Work becomes meaningful when it is seen as service and as ministry.

God had placed Adam and Eve in an idyllic situation—a garden that supplied everything that they needed. God took care of them, and the concept of work was as far beyond ...read more
