Running on Empty Remedy
I’m on a hunt to debunk Satan’s destructive lies he uses to “sift us” (Luke 22:31). The LORD did not send us on life missions to ‘save the world’; the deception feels that way at least. We were not created to do it all, nor to hold all things together. The product of over-functioning is…
