Lift Your Spirit – “If I Could Have Anything”
If you could have anything, what would your heart ask for? That’s how you know where your treasure is. And that treasure is what you consider to be your source of joy. 23 You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not […]
