JUST THINK...
R. LESSIN, DAYSPRING
Just think… You’re here not by chance, but by God’s choosing. His hand formed you and made you the person you are.
He compared you to no one else — you are one of a kind.
You lack nothing That His grace can’t give you.
He has allowed you to be here at this tune ub gustirt to fulfil His special purpose for this generation.
To every thing, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1
