Words of Encouragement
Benjamin Garcia-All too often, our inclination is to test God. We know what He says He wants us to do, but we do other things instead. We try to get away with things we know we should not. When we find ourselves in trouble, we look to God to bail us out and we cannot understand why He doesn't "jump" to our aid. Often God allows us to struggle through adversity in order to learn that He means what He says.
Read and study Luke 6:27-37, 11: 27-28 and 13:22-30
