Your Humour Can Be a Gift On Social Media. Use It Well
I felt the Lord say to His people: “Your sense of humour is a gift from me. Use it wisely and don’t let it be polluted.” As I pressed in more, He had more to say. What I wrote below came from that time with Him. You know that condescending but funny guy you follow […]
