     | 992 views

    We are told that believers should be content where they are and abide with God. We are to Bud, Bloom, Blossom and be Blissful wherever we are. It takes time for us to get to where God wants us to be.

    If we are faithful in what God has called us to do, we will be brought up (budding). God has a plan, and He is preparing for us to bloom. God brings us through trials in order for us to blossom. We are to wait for Him while He prepares us to be in the condition that we are to be in. In this ...read more

    As we read these words, we can not help but think of an old, gray-haired man expressing concern for his children. This was exactly what John was doing. In a pervious sermon we dealt with the two sides of John’s personality. • That is, he had the intestinal fortitude to be able to look at the ...read more
