Praise the Lord! We all can testify that there’s something of His life that grows in our hearts ever since we have heard the gospel or read the Bible.
Christ is the Sower sowing Himself as the seed of life into our heart, and He wants to live in us, grow in us, and be expressed from within us. Hallelujah! 😀
