“God Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things.” Acts 17:25

There was a song called “Every Breath You Take”, released the year I graduated from High School. The group was called “the Police” but most people would know the lead singer, Sting.

With that kind of attention from God, what is there to fear in life? A smile found its way across his lips as he said, “you are right”. God is an amazing, caring, compassionate, forgiving, providing Father. As I’ve said often, He’s only a prayer away. Talk to Him.
