Expect the Best

admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:54:14 +0000

Expecting the best rests upon a foundational premise – God overachieves for us so our results originate in His divine success rather than relying on our human inconsistencies.

We expect the best because of our faith in Christ and His perfect work in us and through us.
