But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

Thy will be done.
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
This verse is often misunderstood and people even stumble in their faith over a myopic understanding of this verse.
"God if You said in Your word, that You will grant me the desires of my heart, then I want..."
and God suddenly becomes Santa Claus.
But lets zero in on the context and entirety of this verse.
Delight yourself in the Lord!
That is the key that people so often overlook when they are reading this scripture.
It can be better understood with the help of another scripture.
John 15:7
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you."
To abide is state of being, whereby something remains somewhere.
In the context of this verse, you remain IN God, and you allow His word to remain IN you.
That means that your thoughts, and your desires are therefore in line with God's thoughts and desires.
This is because His word is inseparable from His will; they have to go together.
Abide in Him and let His word abide in you. =)

Love. Christ-centered. Spirit-filled.
Vision
In the cell we desire to...have a firm and clear understanding of our positions in Christ.
maintain a close circle of trust and accountability; by being honest and accepting towards one another.
constantly growing deeper in the word; through the desire to have a deeper relationship with Christ, which leads to a hunger for His word.
create a platform where prebelievers can witness the love and power of God, through worship, fellowship, prayer and devotional sharings.
look beyond ourselves; by reaching out to unbelievers, as well as grooming the younger ones whom we have an influence over.
