Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.Mark 10:27 (NCV) “For people this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”Jeremiah 32:27 (NCV) “I am the Lord, the God of every person on the earth. Nothing is impossible for me.Philippians 4:13 (NLT) For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” – George Bernard Shaw
