Light Quote by David A. Powlison

“God’s mercies in Jesus Christ are like taking in the sun full strength. Our love for others is at best a flickering three-watt night-light. But light is light. And in a dark house, in a relationship torn by conflict, that three-watt night-light makes a huge difference.” quote by David A. Powlison — Download Open image
