God always has you safe in His arms. No matter what your going through, He will always keep you safe. A couple weeks ago when I was carrying something out my front door, and turn to go down my front stairs, I missed a step and fell face first down 6 steps to the concrete. Thankfully, I did not hit my head and I only suffered a bruised arm and sore shoulder. It could have been a lot worse, but God had me safe in His arms during that fall. Remember to trust in God, keep Him in first place and know you are safe in God's arms. Thank you and God Bless!

God has you in his hand and is constantly guiding you, but also testing you to see how faithful you are. God loves you and He sees everything that is happening to you and around you. Trust in God.
