Inspiring biblical passage of the moment: “You are the light of the world, a city set on a hill can not be hidden. Neither does a light come on and it is placed under a bushel, but on the candlestick, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5: 14-16

When did you first encounter God and how did you encounter Him? I grew up in a Christian home and grew up listening to His Word at home, in Bible school and when I went to the children’s church. I do not remember the date, but God has revealed himself to my life since my childhood, and I consider Him my friend.
