1 Timothy 6:12
(Written by Paul around AD 62)
1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

BUT NO MATTER WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH, OUR GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE AND HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN, WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW, AND WHERE HE WANTS TO TAKE YOU!
I would dare to guess that many people have suffered shipwreck of their faith when they have gone through hard times. When things don't turn out as we expect, the first person we blame is God, not ourselves. We hear things like, ''God where were you when this happened in my life, or this person died or that tragedy happened to me?'' Or ''God, if you are all powerful, why ...
