Psalm 127 : 1 Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it.
In the kingdom of God, centre stage is not for those who beat their chests with prideful boasts HOPE is a call to you as an individual - a seemingly insignificant contributor that can move mountains and build massive and effective ways to reach those who need hope and help.
It is also important to remember that RELIGION does Not establish HOPE,
LOVE DOES !
