Charles R. Swindoll Quotes About Desire

Quotes about: Desire

• From the tiny birds of the air and from the fragile lilies of the field, we learn the same truth, which is so important for those who desire to live a life of simple faith: God takes care of His own.

And at just the right moment, He steps in and proves Himself as our faithful heavenly Father.
