<\/strong>Every day, please take some time to pray for peace. We want peace.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>A person once said to me, talking about Christians: They are stoned-faced Christians. I mean, they don't express anything. They are so\u2026and joy is essential.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>An encounter with Jesus always brings you joy. And if that doesn't happen to you, it is not a true encounter with Jesus.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
