HE is always there for us
We turn to God to search our heart, to call us and help us hear His voice and to rescue us when we are in need of help. We trust God who has given us hope where there is horror, joy where there is judgment, peace where there is disturbance and disruptions.
Luke 15 : 5 - 6
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep”.
