‭‭Psalm‬ ‭1:1-2‬ ‭sss241-1“Amazing love, how can it be? That You, my King would die for me?

In all I do, I honor You”

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves”
Philippians 2:3 sss241-1“The perfect wisdom of our God revealed in all the universe:
