WHAT does the Lord want OF, FROM ME???!!!!! I’ve faced the same question many times… and expect to continue to face it as I become the person the Lord’s always seen in me. These 2 questions can be said in frustration… in demand… in humility and I suspect other ways. When you become born again/saved […]
