God Multiplies Even Through Our Detours
“Now Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. And John left them and returned to Jerusalem.”
Nothing is wasted in the Kingdom of God. Even painful chapters, misunderstandings, and detours can be woven by the Holy Spirit into a testimony of reconciliation and multiplied fruit.
