Everyone in the world seeks some form of blessing. However, the true blessing from God may be different from what the world desires.

Our typical human nature tends to complain when we meet misfortunes in life, but have God proven your despair and unbelief wrong in the end? Have He surprised you with grace you didn’t imagine?

How about your own testimony? Are you able to confirm God’s faithfulness in your life and share those testimonies with people around you?
