If we truly are serious about exploring the depths of our Salvation, we will work daily to surrender our will for God's; because after all, God knows what's best for us, God knows our beginning and our end. God knows what happens in between and during our journeys and last, God knows how to grow us up to ensure that we are powerful representations of him.
