Do you know what you were made for? You were made to praise God and bring Him glory! Sadly, when you replace your primary purpose with something else it leads to pain, confusion and even destruction. If you tried to use a saw as a hammer it would destroy the hammer and be painful for…

Nothing has every happened that has been outside the plan of God, whether bad or good. God’s plan encompasses everything in all creation, both in heaven and on earth.
