What moves the heart of God is a heart that follows Him. Faith begins on your knees but grows on your feet. A faith that isn’t used soon atrophies. If you want to trust God fully, you must obey Him completely.
The Cost of Following Jesus
You can’t say Jesus is first if you consistently put Him last in your time, attention, and resources.
