In 1 Corinthians 10:31 we read, “...whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Wherever you are in your circumstances and stage of life, God has given you what you need to be an encouragement and inspiration to those whom you come in contact with. Thank God for that gift and bring a bit of joy to others as you follow Jesus!
