Bible Verse Reader Novels & Stories

Bible reading From 1 Corinthians 13:4-7: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

the text read. “Oh, God!”

She uttered and flipped the plates of her memo. "This will be our reference verse, Matthew chapter 7:7-8, so it is said here that when we ask, it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds… and to him who knocks, it will be opened." All ears were compressed to what she spoke.
