March 22, God’s Blueprint
When I consider the physical body, I am filled with a sense of awe. The substance that eventually became my body was planned and formed by God in the earth long before it ever entered my body. God had appointed the substance that would one day constitute my body.
March 21, An Intricate Unity

March 16, Laying Down Our Lives
