I'm too young!”“Don't say that” the Lord replied, “you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you.And don't be afraid of the people,…See More

God will redeem me from the power of Sheol (the place of the dead);He will receive me. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!Psalm 49:15 THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE You cannot stare directly for long at the sun or at death—the first would blind you; the second would overwhelm you.
