“Do you know how God tests our faithfulness? He assigns us to do something for a period of time that we don't want to do, something that is not fun o exciting, something that may require us to submit to someone else's authority for a while, and He'll tell us in our heart, “Just be faithful.”

“Love has been perfected in me in this: that I may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so am I in this world.
