What Christ has done in me is a mystery

He is done yet I’ve only began to see



I found a peace I thought did not exist

Joy in measure beyond compare

A comfort now… Continue

THE OPEN HEART SURGERY Series is a group of stories about people who have fallen through the crack, some would say. People, who, for one reason or another, have dropped out of society, hidden away. Some have gotten to that point on their own, while others have been pushed there by the circumstances of an evil world.

Loves' hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].



Hopeth all things, is the KJV of 1 Cor 13:7 for the study we will look at today.

What if God loved and then took it back.

Is that the way we'd expect love to act.



What if in one more day someone would turn to Him.

only to find that their struggle rest solely on whim.



The patience of Gods' love must be greater you see.

What kind of love would you call that.



Adding conditions that if just one could not… Continue
