May the Lord have mercy on us that we would not serve Him in our natural strength and ability but in the resurrected ability; may we learn to contact the Lord, depend on Him, live in spirit, and trust in Him, not in our natural ability, and may we serve Him in resurrection in […]
Seeing the Difference between Natural Ability and Resurrected Ability in Serving God
