THE BEST OF THE LAND
As a new year is almost upon us, here is a statement you don't want to miss; God longs to bless you! Your reception to this statement will determine your future! God literally has a longing in his heart to bring blessing to you and your life! Listen to what the prophet Isaiah said concerning this.
Isaiah 30:18 Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

Please take a moment to check out these Scriptures today so that you can better understand how love is the power that enables you to live God’s amazing life.
