Will It Be There When We Need It?

“… For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So we may boldly say: ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear, what man can do to me.” (Hebrews 13:5b-6, NKJV) Some days … well … some days are just harder to handle than other days.  We know that […]
