We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

[One’s] disposition toward a behavior does not mean justification for that behavior. “That’s the way he is” doesn’t mean “that’s how he should act.”
David Platt

When the storms of life come crashing down, hold on to your faith. Remember that God is with you, and He will never leave nor forsake you. With Him by your side, you can overcome any obstacle and find comfort in His loving embrace.
