My Tea Time With Jesus

Sometimes, we can fall for things that are not of God, by simply living life and "doing our own thing". Yet, self-seeking is not the way to Truth.

These Scriptures are all about  Me !   And here I am, standing right before you, and you aren’t willing to receive from Me the life you say you want. ” T: I believe this is an ...
