God designed you. He designed me. Isn’t that glorious truth? We go back today to see what happened not long after God created mankind in the garden of Eden. God created perfectly, but also gave mankind free will. Soon, “the Fall” happened where mankind chose to follow their own way. Adam and Eve, the first…

Who are you? Do you think that you are unlovable or different from all others because of your struggle? Do you get frustrated with yourself because you just don’t seem to measure up to others?

The lessons for the next couple days are vital. At first, they may seem more discouraging than encouraging.

Do you ever feel out of place or as if you were born in the wrong time? Acts 17:26 “26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;” Is there…
