Adjust Your Approach, Change Your Everything
For a long time, I viewed God in my mind's eye as expansive like the sunrise: infinite, great, and yet, in that view…far away. Looking down at me, but inaccessible. While He is expansive, infinite, and great, God also knows the desires of my soul and the number of...
