Relationship Makes the Difference
In John chapter 4 we have the story of Jesus encountering the Samaritan woman at the well. A conversation takes place and we see Jesus informing her that she comes from a people who really don’t know who they worship.

I used to try and fight my battles on my own. I thought I was big enough and smart enough to take care of it myself. That didn’t go so well for
