Thanks for sharing Eli. Thank Him that His mercy is new every morning and His grace is more than enough.
Oh wow. What an illustration Eli! Thanks for sharing! ♥
What an awesome demonstration- thanks for sharing that Eli! Very helpful. I, too, pray to be filled with God's unending grace and ask that he remove all the complicated "stuff," from my being.
