In my Father’s house
there are many dwelling places.
If there were not,

so does one human heart reflect another. For this reason, I rejoice when I endure weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and distress for the sake of Christ. For it is when I am weak that I am strong.Next verse!With image
