    Sometimes when we look at certain Bible passages we get the feeling that only suffering and persecution awaits the true believer in Jesus. Nothing could be further from the truth! Even in the midst of trials we can have joy and peace and hope! PTL!!

Its waters reached to his chin but receded whenever he bent down to satisfy his burning thirst. Over ...read more
