As soon as we abandon ourselves to God and do the task He has placed closest to us, He begins to fill our lives with surprises.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.

Adam was created to be the friend and companion of God, he was to have dominion over all the life in the air and earth and sea, but one thing he was not to have dominion over, and that was himself.
