And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28, NIV) When an accident happens, we're suddenly struck with the profound reality of how fragile and unpredictable our lives truly are.

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17, NLT Abuse is a profoundly challenging topic to discuss openly and candidly.

Christians are called to symbolize generosity in all aspects of their lives. It is not merely an option or a casual choice we make from time to time; rather, it is a fundamental principle that defines our character and our actions. True generos
