GOD IS SOVEREIGN

Romans 8.28- And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

FOLLOW JESUS

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.

PRIORITIZE JESUS

I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband.
