Wisdom & Understanding

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand." John 10:27-28 There are so many voices in the world today. Social media can be very overwhelming and confusing if you read all the different opinions, thoughts and statements.
