@brainsturbator "Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, And are accounted as the dust on the scales;... All the nations are as nothing before Him, They are accounted by Him as less than nothing and emptiness." ~ Isaiah 40:15,17

"God's plan made a hopeful beginning.
But man spoiled his chances by sinning.
We trust that the story will end in God's glory.
But, at present, the other side's winning.”
