Life Quote by Francis Chan
““There is a real difference between adding the Spirit to your life and actually following Him minute by minute. If you add the Spirit to your life, you’re not open to change; you just want to enhance what you’re already doing. This is not what the Spirit came to do. On the other hand, if you begin following the Spirit’s leading in your life, you will find yourself changing.””
