He Laid Down His Life

Self-Giving
A man thinking and reflecting in the dark with a neon pink cross in the background with the quote: For us, accepting God’s mercy is the most perfect form of sacrifice.

I Bow Low and Give Thanks
A man praying at his desk in front of his computer with his fingers interlaced with the quote: "Even if the work of each day has been perfectly achieved we don’t know what use the Lord is going to make of it…and if it is extremely clumsy and poorly done we know even less how it will be used.

Never Lost

It is Enough
