But of course billions of people do not acknowledge Him, yet persist in their lives anyway. This is just His grace, I think.<BR/><BR/>However, in trying to grow in knowledge of Him and His grace, I've found that He wants me to have ever increasing awareness of the my entire dependence on Him.Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08769437717108181870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605581.post-74463776298422817732008-03-03T02:28:00.000-08:002008-03-03T02:28:00.000-08:00That's very inspiring.
