This is how He is bringing in His Kingdom. And this is our hope and joy.
“The Lord takes pleasure in His people; He is after the hidden person of the heart, with beauty of a gentle spirit.
Receiving His gift brings us peace in a world of noise, confusion, and relentless pressures and problems. Many give up the search, thinking peace is impossible to find, but true peace of heart and mind is available through faith in Jesus Christ - God's Son, our Savior. You will find that as we pursue our faith, our attitude toward life will change, that we will be more positive, gracious, loving, humble, helpful and thankful
