John 16:33 New Living Translation (NLT) 33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.

Last week we laid the foundation for this week’s blog so if you didn’t get a chance to read last week’s blog, please go back and do so if possible. This is such a key truth for our sanity. Seriously 😳  The gyst is this :  You need more peace? What you may need is […]
