You then, my son, be strong in
the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
……II Timothy 2:1
How much lighter trials become when we realize
God’s grace is twofold. It is not only the happy ending. It is also
the peace we can feel during a painful journey, when we trust in
God---all the way.
….Doris Haase
Verse this week:
