When given a chance, the Sun melts ice every. single. time. No matter how thick and frozen the heart, keep praying – slowly but surely, the Light does the job. Love is the most powerful force on earth. Sure, people have free will to reject even our most heartfelt intentions. And often, we need to […]
We forget to thank the grape, while drinking the wine – but He’s the one, who can teach us how to surrender. Sometimes, we’re called to be crushed for the sake of another. Sometimes in our walk of faith, we are called to “turn the other cheek” for the greater good of God’s plan. Jesus […]
