Live to give, strong words from a faithful man of God. It is made clear in Scripture that the world will know us by the fruits we produce which is a reflection of our heart. What is a true sign of this? Our ability to be good to one another, even those who wrong us, and the consistency to which we do it (faithfulness). We hope this message blesses you this week.
