When you come to those turning points where you can either follow your own will or God's, may you submit your will to His, stay focused on what Jesus has done for you and be with Him!
When you're finding yourself confused or discouraged in your faith, remember what Jesus has said, remind yourself of what He has done and ask yourself, "Have You Heard Enough?"
