GOD'S PROMISE
He said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you. Genesis 28: 13-15.
Story of my Salvation

While living in Chennai, I was living a worldly and sinful life, which affected my studies, behavior, and personal life. This led me to the failure of my exams!
