How to Face the Future with Joy and Positive Anticipation

How to Face the Future with Joy and Positive Anticipation

Today, I want to share a few quotes about encouragement. When God has called you to do something, he will make it happen. It is not about your strength, power, and wisdom (or lack of them).
