The Big Picture
I learnt that because of my religion as a christian, i will be tested by society and God all the time. But if you believe and trust in him, there is a plan for you.
One of the biggest promises Abraham got from God was that one day he would be able to have a child. Because Sarah (his wife) was unable to have a child most of her life.
To have faith in God and to trust what plans he has for you. That God is always there and keeps all of his promises
