Prodigal:\u00a0 I think this is my sign.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I guess it was.<\/p>\n

This is from the book Men of Faith :\u00a0 Jonathan Edwards by David J. Vaughan<\/p>\n

Resolved, to examine carefully, and constantly, what that one thing in me is, which causes me in the least to doubt of the love of God; and to direct all my forces against it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lord sees all, and has already accepted us.\u00a0 He loves us.\u00a0 People do not love like God at times.\u00a0 They love selfishly, and they love with motives.\u00a0 They love to help themselves.\u00a0 Why do we listen to people instead of God?<\/p>\n

Nehemiah 9:6<\/p>\n
