Today’s WordIt’s not always the big challenges that hold us back from God’s best, but often the small, daily choices. A lack of kindness, neglecting what matters to your spouse, or being difficult to get along with can quietly limit your potential. At times, it may not feel fair—you work hard but don’t get the
