Scandalous Stories Quotes

“Here’s the deal: Oftentimes, you may not sense or feel that God is working his kingdom personally in your life. You still seem to struggle with the same old sins; your attitude doesn’t seem to be all that different, but let this parable assure you that he is working. His kingdom may not look as impressive as you would expect, but he’s not done. Trust him, because his word declares this awesome truth: “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
