With God, All Things Are Possible
by Victor Marx
“God is ready and eager to heal you and restore you.
He can tenderly pick up the BROKEN pieces of
your life, bit by bit, and reshape them into beauty
and strength. This is God’s desire for you my friend!
. . .Don’t be discouraged if your restoration looks
hopeless. It took me a while to come to this place
of healing. But I can say without a doubt,
Jesus wants to do the same for you!”
Amen.
