When God Allows us to meet all the wrong people so that when we finally meet the Right ones... All we Do is Praise, and Know for real what it is that we have..#Blessed. #leben_Musings. #Littlethoughts.

read this: When you feel as though God is distant, just remember that He is always near. God promises that when we draw near to Him, He draws near to us. No matter how many times we push Him away, He waits for us with open arms. Run to your Heavenly Father, The Constant One. The Maker of Heaven & Earth.
