Lessons, joys, etc // Week 6

Lessons:

 ~ Seeking God must be a choice we make, regardless of our mood and feelings.

 ~ [From journal] My God is greater. My God turns lost causes into testimonies. My God is a miracle worker. My God changes hearts, minds. Even if I can see no solid basis for change, my God has a plan. My God hears my prayers. My God makes Pauls out of Sauls. With my God, nothing is hopeless. Nothing.
