God’s Love for Us Never Fails
Jude 1:21 (KJV) Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Your Safety & Protection are God’s Priority.
Proverbs 18:10 (KJV) The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Safety and Protection is one of the most founded aspect of any good government. Millions and billions are spent from governmental and nonGovernmental organizations yearly in security measures.
