This book was inspired and year before the pandemic. The chapters here are the Words which God spoke to me during my quite times and meditations. This is a book which will help people get new insights and revelations daily from the Bible. The daily reading of the devotions will surely help people get the faith, encouragement, strength and peace which they seek everyday while they face the challenges of their life. This book will help the readers to know that no matter who they are, where they are or what they are, God still loves them and cares for them.
