God is always at work in the midst of our circumstances - even when it doesn’t seem like He is. When Paul and Barnabas had a disagreement in Acts fifteen, they departed from each other and went their separate ways.

Jesus poured Himself into twelve men who, in turn, poured themselves into the world.
