What shapes your perspective?

God teaches us His character not by what we are obligated to give, but by what we are

not obligated to give.

“Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters, or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s sake…

“…who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time.”

Mark 10:29-30

God doesn’t take from you that which He desires

you to freely relinquish.
