Good Things Come to Those Who...

I saw this illustration and thought, this is appropriate yet good things come to those who do more than sweat. Good things come to those who work hard, who put others first, and good things come to those who put God first. Yup, we are digging into some Biblical truth. Are you ready?

If we focus on the words, "Good things come to those who", you'll think of patience and the Bible is full of truths about patience and its importance in our lives.

​Let's take a look at a few, which verse stands out to you the most?

it keeps no record of wrongs.
