Hello Carmel March 2025

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who being in very nature GOD, did not consider equality with GOD something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.”
Philippians 2: 5-7
