The best place

The best place is where God wants me to be, where I am obeying his will. If I am faithful to the Lord, those places can be very different. And of course, the best place could even be a jail cell for those incarcerated for their faith, or those who once in jail were found by faith in the Lord Jesus. Before God they are free, free from their sins and more free than those who have an honest reputation but do not know God.
