HOLY // What does it look like to show complete devotion towards God even in the midst of challenging or difficult circumstances? Although God does not promise to change your circumstances, he does promise to offer Himself, fully, to you at all times. And that means that even in difficult life situations, God can provide peace. May you receive God's love, peace, and care for you today. #holy #peace #pauldavidtripp #godspromises
