Gently nudging us towards maturity in Christ . Let’s look at some of the ways the Father Nurtures believers.

He gives supernatural peace to those who feel troubled 2 Corinthians 7:6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down,comforted us by the coming of Titus; How does worldly peace differ from what Jesus offers John 14:27? Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
