Grace upon grace. That’s what it felt like during our year of waiting on God after having four miscarriages. Everywhere I turned, there He was, rich with mercy. Gently He put lessons on my heart.

There are two important parts of “The Gospel call”: repent and believe. While salvation is completely accomplished by God, the Holy Spirit works in our heart to bring about the right response.
