Reflections: With all things happening around the world, seeing all who are suffering because of calamity, one can think and say " Did God leave us?”, sometimes people asking God why me? that’s why we as believers of Christ should cease not praying and sharing who God is! And encouraged not just ourselves but others to cling to Him, His Word & His Promises! He is our loving God, Our Miracle-working God, He is merciful but Just.
