There are so many things that happen to us as a matter of course.
They happen just like that!

But then, there is one important thing we’ve left undone. We just have to believe in one Supreme Being. He is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent.
I believe in the Christian God. And He has been faithful!
I’m sorry, this may not necessarily happen just like that. We have to make conscious efforts.
Go on…..
