An attitude to chase after what is good and right, is an expectation that God has for us. I offer all that I have, up to you, Father – please teach me. Philippians 3:15 All of us who are spiritually mature should have this same attitude. But if some of you have a different attitude,Continue reading “Pieces of Attitude”
