“Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” Ephesians 5:17

I heard people complaining that they do not know the will of God. Had they known, they would have done it. Yet George MacDonald, a Scottish author and poet said, “Doing the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about His plans.” Elisabeth Elliot, a Christian author, and the speaker said, “The will of God… it’s a course you choose.” Many simply do not take time to find it. One of the easy ways to find out God’s will is by reading the Bible verses that directly reveal it and then we can start doing those things without delay. It is not a rocket science to figure out God’s will and start applying in our lives.
Our today’s Bible insights say “do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” We do not want to be foolish, do we?

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “Give thanks in all circumstances.” Why? For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Pretty straightforward, right? Now start putting this into practice and you start fulfilling the will of God. See it does not say you should like or enjoy all the circumstances, does it? Some circumstances could be painful and we may not appreciate it. However, God has a plan right in the midst of it. It is going to be a good plan. He is willing to walk with you and hold your hand through all of it. Therefore, you can thank Him for all circumstances for He looks at the big picture that we do not have it yet.

1 Thessalonians 4:13 gives another direct will of God. It says, “ For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality.” Now if you are in sexual immorality, make a U-turn from it and turn to the Lord. He will help you to overcome it. Then you have done the will of God.

1 Peter 2:15 says “For it is God’s will that by doing good, you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.” The context from verse 11-14 says what is meant by doing good that fulfill God’s will in this particular context. By abstaining from sinful desires, which always war against your soul, living a good and honorable life among whom you live, submitting to every human authority because God placed authority to punish who does wrong and reward who does right.

2 Peter 3:9 says God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. God’s will is that you should repent and turn to God so that you should not perish. Jesus explained this will of God and it is recorded in John 6:40. It says, “For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him (Jesus Christ) should have eternal life.” It is the will of God that you should look on His Son, Jesus Christ, and believes in Him so that you will not perish but have eternal or everlasting life.

These are few of the direct Bible verses about God’s will so that we can begin doing His will immediately in our lives. There are also commands, principles, and counsels that reveals the will of God in the pages of the Bible. The more we read the Bible and give careful attention, the more we will discover the will of God for our lives.

Beloved, Got a moment for today’s prayer? “Father in heaven, I thank you for talking to me and now that I understand few of the will of God that is revealed in the Bible, I want to apply it in my life. Help me apply these in my lives. I know you do not want me to perish but find eternal life in your Son, Jesus Christ. I believe Jesus died in my place for all of my sins and rose again. I look at him on the cross and believe him as m savior and Lord. In Christ’s name, I pray.” Amen.

“But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” Genesis 3:9.

It is essential to understand where you are to figure out how you can get to your destination. If navigation does not discover where you are, it won’t help you to get to your destination. It all begins with an understanding of where you are. Before you make a financial goal, you should have an understanding of where you are financially today. Before you make your health goal, you should at least understand your weights, heights and some other necessary information.

A pretty good understanding of where you are is a pre-requisite to reach your goal or destination. In our today’s insight, the Lord God came to the garden of Eden after Adam and Eve sinned against God and asked the question: Adam, where are you? Not because God did not know where he was. However, the Lord wanted Adam to have a grasp about his lost condition. Was he happy now after the incident? Alternatively, was he hurt and feel bad now? How did he feel?

All of us have a nature of pride. Often we think we are better than others. We know Adam passed the buck to Eve. Eve passed the buck to the serpent. You see, we want to impress others and even God and show how good we are and how bad they are, don’t we? However, the truth is this – None of us got it all together. None of us are perfect. We all have problems. The problem could be the relationship, finance, health, an area of ongoing temptation or something else.

We live in a broken world broken by the sins of our original parents- Adam and Eve-and our sins. All around us are broken including the nature we live in. Nothing works the way it was originally intended. According to Romans 8:21-22, the whole creation is groaning as in the pains of childbirth until all would be liberated from its decay into the freedom and glory in and through the savior of the whole world, Jesus Christ.

If we are transparent and willing to admit our problems, then only our life becomes a source of help and encouragement for others around us, who need help. As long as we live a pharisaical lifestyle, acting like we got it all together, we fool ourselves and fool others. However, remember we can deceive others for a while, but we can never fool God who knows it all anyway. Not only we fool others, but also we try to keep the people who have problems at arm’s length. All these ungodly and pharisaic attitudes that the Lord hates. Then we believe we are in the center of His will. How evil our heart becomes!

Secondly, unless we know who we are and admit our problems, weaknesses, and failures to one another and God, spiritual growth becomes impossible. We remain as babes in Christ, although by this time we would be teachers having more wisdom and understanding. Thirdly, God is not going to use us for His glory as long as we try to fool others with our “I am better than you” mindset and keep people at arm’s length. We may be able to do many things for our glory and name but not for God’s glory and name. If we don’t bring glory to God the results would be the works of woods, hay, and straw. Such works would not stand when tested through the fire. It all will be burned and no reward would be the final result. (1 Corinthians 3:12).

Beloved, the wall that becomes a resistant barrier is a wrong estimation about ourselves that could very well result in pride, arrogance and keeping people at arm’s length. Only a humble and lowly mind ready to see, admit and correct the imperfections in life can grow triumphantly and shine brilliantly.

Beloved, aren’t you glad that God sent His son, Jesus Christ, into this world for our imperfections, failures, and sins and renewing and reconciling to Himself the whole world through Him (Christ)? Yes, I am delighted! We all need humility to accept our dire need for the savior and go to Him for rescue, help, and reconciliation. Bible says in Psalm 136:23., “God remembered us in our low estate because of his loving kindness.” Indeed, He did! Christ died for us when we were helpless, sinners and enemies to Him. (Romans 5:6-10). He came, lived on this earth, went to the cross, and paid for all our sins and failures.

Got a moment for today’s prayer? “Father in heaven, I pray to forgive my pride and arrogance. I pray to forgive me because I kept people whom you love at arm’s length with my foolish estimate about you and your word. I admit my sin of pride. I confess my sins of mistreating others who are made in your image. Fashion your heart in me, Lord. First of all, help me to have an honest evaluation of myself and how imperfect I am so that I can help others sincerely and reach out to them with your love and compassion. In Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.”

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37).

There is a difference between conquerors and more than conquerors. The Super Bowl XX11 was memorable in the history. Redskins overcome a 10 point deficit and then beat Broncos 42-10. To conquer means to get victory over the enemy or adversary but to become more than a conqueror means not just victory but enormous, overwhelming and massive victory. Bible says if you love the Lord Jesus Christ, you are not just a conqueror but you are more than a conqueror. You have a vast and enormous margin of victory.

Yesterday we learned God already decreed our victory and no matter who, what comes against us, God works all things together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose. You see, this is a ‘no matter’ promise. Dearly beloved, you may be wondering why this happened to you because you do not deserve it. However, be confident by the eternal Word of God that promises you this -God is at work in your life and He is going to put all things together for good for you. The reason is this. God foreknew all things going to happen in your life. With all full knowledge, He predestined you to become conformed to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ. Not only He foreknew all about you and predestined you to look like Christ Jesus through it all, but also He called you in time, justified and also glorified you.

Now, the question is this. After considering all these truths, what are our conclusions? Number one- If God is for us the way the Bible explained in the above paragraph, who can be against us? Is anyone a match to God? People, enemies, and even devil? Make a note- it does not mean people, devil or circumstances would not come against you. It does not mean no one would mock, tease and slander you. It does not mean they will not persecute you. Bible says everyone who wants to live a godly life will have persecution in this world. It does not mean devil would not come against us with his schemes. Devil may say to us- look at what happened in your life, and now God is not on your side. He will try to tell and convince you that you are a failure. He would say because of your shortcomings, God does not love you, or He is not on your side. God is not on your side is devil’s age-old lie from the garden of Eden.

Beloved, if devil or his representatives tells you are a failure or you are not good in the sight of the Lord, then ask him the questions in verse 34-35. These are the questions you would immediately ask, “Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” You see it says it is the God who justified and if so who can bring a charge against God’s elect and predestination? Who is able to condemn? Because Christ is the one who died and then risen again for your sake and He is at the right hand of God and makes intercession for us. All condemning tongue should stop because they are condemning against the blood and the intercessory work of Christ. Then the third question is, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Of course, we will have unexpected setbacks in our Christian life like tribulation, distress, famine, peril, sword and of course, these come in many forms and fashions. Our dear people may stand against us to stop our progress. Does that mean Christ does not love us anymore? No, nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Then it says for the sake of the Lord His dear ones are killed all day long, and they are treated like sheep led to the slaughter. Does that mean God does not love us? Listen it says in verse 38, neither death, nor angels, principalities and powers (means demonic forces and devil), nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Verse 35 promise nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Additionally, the verse says 39 promises none or nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. You see Jesus loves us and nothing can separate us from His love. Besides, God loves us, and nothing can separate us from God’s love because we are in His Son, Jesus Christ. I would love my grandson if I had one. I have seen grandparent’s love and admiration for grandchildren. One day I hope I will have a grandchild, and I know in my heart that I would love him or her deeply in my heart. Why? Because my grandson is in my son and He belongs to my beloved Son. I would do anything to stand with my grandchild because he/she is the most favored in my heart because he/she belongs to my Son and Me. I just made an analogy only to show God’s deep commitment and love. However, Bible says believers in Christ are God’s own children Christ being the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

Beloved, we are in His Son, Jesus Christ and we belong to Him when we invited Jesus into our lives, and thereby we are the most favored in the heart and mind of God.

Remember, our today’s insight says, “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” In what things? You name it – tribulation, slandering, various attacks, problems including financial, marital, relational, health – you put what you face in here. You are not just a conqueror but more than a conqueror through Him who loves you.
By understanding of who we are in Christ, how secure our future is, in the midst of all such things we will be more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Got a moment for today’s prayer? “Father in heaven, I love you and trust your promise that you will work all things together for my good. Thank you for choosing me, saving me and even glorifying me. I understand the depth of your love. I accept Christ Jesus as my savior and Lord. I believe He died and rose again for my sins. In Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.”

“For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.” (1 Peter 2:20).

Rumi, a Persian Poet, born 807 years ago said this, “the hurt you embrace becomes joy.” When you think about it, mistreating another human being is somewhat equal to digging one’s own grave, especially when we do this to the most vulnerable in our society – children and old and weaker people. However, don’t we know we live in a world where people mistreat and hurt the weak on a going basis. What else can a world taint by sin offer to people?

Our today’s insight teaches something unique and special to remember in our daily life on this earth. When we behave and act badly and then as a result if we get harsh treatment for our behavior and action, is there any credit, even if we endure the punishment with patience? No, not really. However, think the opposite way. When you do what is right and then end up suffering for it and if you patiently endure it, guess what the Bible says you find favor with God. Other translations say you are commendable before God.

Suppose the queen of England or the president of US commend you for something good you have done. How do you feel and what is that means to you? So now think about the King of kings and Lords of lords, the creator God, who rules over all on this planet earth and the whole universe spotted you and commended you. The translation we used today says ‘finds favor’ with God. If we are spotted, commended by God and got favor with Him, don’t you agree we are up to a high reward/promotion from the hands of the Lord? Yes, for sure. I don’t know what that promotion is going to be. However, it will be a high reward in this life and afterlife in heaven based on the promise of God (Matthew 19:29 and Luke 18:29).

Beloved, read and let the words of the Lord go deep into your discouraged, fainted and wounded heart. “But if when you do what is right and suffer for it, you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.” The Lord in heaven and His angels stand up and give honor to that man or woman.

Remember the incident of the martyrdom of Stephen. When they heard these things from him, the people gnashes at him with their teeth. However, Stephen, being filled with the Holy Spirit of God, looked at heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God ready to receive Stephen with honor and applauds. Stephen was immediately promoted to the glory in heaven. They stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and said, “Lord, Jesus, receive my spirit.” He knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” Also, when he had said this, he fell asleep. (Acts 7:54-60). They could kill his body, but they could never kill his spirit. He was promoted to glory in heaven right in the presence of the Lord.

Beloved, God will reward you, if you do what is right and suffer for it patiently. Many years Joseph suffered the mistreatment and cruel jealousy of his brothers. Although many years (probably over ten years) gone by, God in heaven did not forget Joseph. He honored and rewarded Joseph by lifting him to the most powerful position of the then world empire, Egypt. Daniel and his three friends had to do what is right in the sight of the Lord in a foreign land where people worshipped idols and humanmade images. For doing right, they suffered severely there. However, God did not forget them. He honored them by giving highest position there in a pagan country, and God’s name was magnified and glorified in the land filled with idols.

Remember the words of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. He said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” If the perfect God-man, the Son of God, was hated by this world and suffered in the hands of sinful and wicked people, then what about us- imperfect, weak who try to follow the footsteps of Him? Bible reminds us to “Consider Jesus who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:3

Don’t you know Christ’s suffering was not the final chapter of his life? It was the beginning of a new chapter of worldwide blessings coming to all the families of the earth according to the Abrahamic covenant in Genesis 12. Stephen’s suffering was not the final chapter. A more powerful soldier for Christ, Apostle Paul, was the result. Though He supported the stoning and murder of Stephen, Paul turned around and began the work that Stephen left off. Our suffering is not the final chapter of our life either.

In God’s economy, per our Bible verse today, when we do what is right and suffer for it patiently, it finds favor in the sight of the Lord and a high reward and promotion would be the outcome. The quotation of Rumi is partially correct. “The hurt you embrace becomes joy.” However, it becomes joy only first of all because God’s Holy Spirit indwells in the child of God and secondly, God is faithful in spotting and rewarding us when we face such painful and most heartbreaking times.

Beloved, got a moment for today’s prayer? “Father in heaven, please grant me the strength and power to do what is right in your sight. Weak as I am, I need your help to do this, Lord. Also, Lord please give me the divine patience to endure the sufferings. I know Jesus is an example to follow in this regard. I believe Jesus died for my sins and rose again. I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord. Please save me and reward me with your love. In Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.”

“Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path” Psalm 119:105

In many parts of the world, electricity and its power are not readily available as we have in the USA or other advanced countries. In the night hours the houses and streets there are covered by thick darkness. In those areas, they understand the value of a lamp in dark hours. When I was a young man growing up in such an area, I remember my Dad would come to the bus stop with his lamp and thereby I can safely walk home from the bus station. The roads were not safe, especially in the night time. There were poisonous snakes and scorpions which would come to the mud road where we used to walk, from the nearby areas of grasses and bushes. Without a lamp or a torchlight, the way is not visible to walk safely. There is also a chance that in such thick darkness you could walk off the mud road and walk in wrong paths. Even thieves can hide on the sides of the way and attack you. In those areas even today, people use the lamp or torchlight to ward off the dangers. Also inside the house, in such areas of the world, when there is no electrical power, people would be blind and unable to do anything- not able to cook food, not able to study the school lessons, etc.
Today’s Bible verse says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet.” It means the Word of God, the Bible, is a lamp for our feet in the dark hours of life. I do not know what trials or darkness you face today. One thing I know. We all encounter various types of trials and darkness in our life’s journey. We would wander in those times what steps or what course of action we should take, and we desperately need the guidance and counsel. Beloved, no one can give you perfect and correct advice and counsel like the Lord gives in His Word. His perfect guidance and counsel are in the book called Bible. Without the light of the Word of God, we would be lost and can end up in dangerous places. Bible, the Word of God, serve as a lamp for our feet. In other words, it guides our feet so that we won’t tread into dangerous places and hurt ourselves more.
Not only the Bible or the Word of God is a lamp in the dark hours of our life, it a light on my path on an ongoing basis. It sheds light on my path so that I can continue walking on the right path. Some people walk on the wrong path because of the absence of the light of the Word of God in their life. They knowingly or unknowingly end up in ways of sin and destruction like a simple sheep end up in dangerous places. But those who read the Bible and keeps the Bible verses in their heart and apply it can make right decisions with the help of the Lord and His Holy Spirit and continue walking in the right and correct path. Psalm 119:130 says “the teaching of your word gives light, it gives understanding to the simple.” You see when a person read the Bible, it teaches and in the process of teaching, it sheds and gives light on the path of everyday life.
Proverbs 6:23 says, the commandment of the Bible is a lamp, and the teaching of the Bible is light. The commandments and teachings of the Bible will keep you from evil people and their smooth and destructive tongues. They caused many to fall into their wicked traps and allurements. But you would gain wisdom from the word of God to avoid many pitfalls like these.
Finally, Bible informs us the embodiment of the Word of God is Jesus Christ Himself. Bible says He is the eternal Word. He (the Word) was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1). The Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). The eternal Word became flesh and lived among us, and people have seen God in Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself said, “anyone who has seen me have seen the Father God.” (John 14:9).
With the Bible, the Word of God in your hand, and Jesus Christ, the embodiment of the eternal God on your side, you are safe and secure one hundred percent. He is the lamp for your feet and light on your path.
Got a moment to pray now?
Father in heaven, I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the eternal Word, who became flesh for me. I believe He came to this world to die for my sins, to pay for my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my savior. Please save me. Lord, help me to read the Bible, the Word of God, every day of my life. I know the Bible in my hand and the eternal Word, Jesus Christ, my savior, on my side, I am safe and secure now and for eternity. Thank you for loving me this much. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

“So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the Lord of the fruit of the ground. Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and for his offering, but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard.” (Genesis 4:3-5).

Abel’s and Cain’s life story portrayed in Genesis chapter 4 shows us the only way of salvation from the very dawn of human history. Abel brought an offering from the firstborn of his flock, while Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. Bible says God pleased in Abel’s offering but not in Cain’s offering. Even today there are many people who think they can get God’s favor and salvation by their toil, hard work, and karma. They are actually following the way of Cain. They try to bring fruits from their hard work, deeds, and toils. But the Bible says the only way for forgiveness of our sins, salvation and eternal life is by the way of blood. That was the way of Abel and God pleased in Abel’s sacrifice of his firstborn from the flock.
You see in the garden of Eden God said the punishment of sin is death and when Adam and Eve disobeyed the commandment of the Lord, an animal had to be killed to get the skin out of it to cover Adam and Eve from their nakedness. God taught them a lesson that Sin is very serious and it always results in death. An animal had to be slain to save Adam and Eve. Sin demands God’s punishment of death. By understanding God’s only one way of salvation, Abel did the right thing- he brought an offering from his flock. But Cain did not care to follow the guideline or requirement of God. He decided to bring the result of his own hard work on the soil – fruits- as an offering to the Lord. Two ways of salvation – one by faith in God and by the offering of a blood sacrifice and the second one is fruits and vegetables -by man’s hard work, toil, and deeds.
Bible is very clear in saying there is only one way to come to God and that is by the blood. Bible says, “the law of Moses requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” (Hebrews 9:22). Leviticus 17:11 also says blood is the only way for the atonement of people’s sin.
Beloved, If you think you can be saved by your good works, toils and good deeds, I regret to inform you that you are terribly mistaken. No works can ever save anybody from their sins. If there was any possibility to get saved by our works, then Christ did not need to come to this world and die for our sins. Bible says “for the wages of sin is death.” But the next verse is so beautiful. It says, “but the but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Jesus Christ was God’s lamb for our sins. God placed all of our sins on Jesus Christ and He died, buried but victoriously risen from the dead on the third day for our sins. The way of salvation was always been by the blood. In the old testament temporarily God allowed the animal sacrifices until the coming of Jesus Christ into this world. Now there is no more sacrifice of any animals needed. Because Christ already was the lamb of God that took away our sins. There is no other way to come to God and get forgiveness for your sins, salvation and eternal life other than the blood of Jesus Christ that was poured out for us.
When all other religions of the world say ‘do more, work more, do good and do a lot of karma’, Bible declares ‘it is already done’ for you. Come to Christ and receive the free gift of salvation in Jesus Christ, because He has already paid for your sins. The free gift of God is salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” John 13:8

Today’s passage tells us our Lord Jesus, the Son of God, is willing to wash even the dirtiest part of our lives. And If we do not allow Him to wash us, we have no part with him.

Jesus being the Son of God who came to save us by dying for our sins was willing to stooped down and washed the disciple’s feet to make them clean. Feet is the dirtiest part of the human body in olden days due to the absence of proper foot coverage in those days, they had to walk long ways because of the absence of vehicles like we have today and the roads were dusty and muddy. Feet gets dirtier than any other part of the body in those days.
It also tells us if Jesus does not wash us, we do not have any part with Him. Though Peter said two times that He will allow Jesus to wash his feet, when he heard he has no part with Jesus, unless He washes him, Peter said to Jesus please wash not only his feet, but hands and head as well. Peter wanted to have good and close fellowship with Jesus and he won’t sacrifice his fellowship and part with Jesus, the savior of the world. But Jesus said to him you are already clean and you need only the washing of the feet. Peter was already a believer in Christ. In fact, Peter left everything and followed Jesus when Jesus called him.  This  is why Jesus said he is already clean because Jesus was the savior and Lord of Peter. This tells us we are already clean if we are a believer in Christ.

If you have not accepted Christ Jesus as your savior, then you are not clean because you do not have a savior as of yet. Only Jesus Christ, the savior of the world and His shed blood can make us clean from all our sins.
I am not sure what are you facing in your life now? You may be thinking you became so dirty and unclean that there is no way you can be clean again. But Jesus promises He can wash even the dirtiest part of your life and make you clean and whole again, if you let Him wash you. Jesus can wash and clean even the most dirtiest, most cruel, wicked and bad people and can transform them to a brand new person.
Bible says in Isaiah 1:18,
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”
We need to settle the matter of our sin with the Lord. God can make us pure and white again, if we call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, beloved, Jesus will wash you and make you clean and pure again because of His shed blood on the cross for your salvation. The blood of Christ is the best eraser that can wash away all our wrong doings and sins.

Do you have a moment to pray? If so, please pray with me.
“God, Bible says unless Jesus Christ wash me, I do not have any part with Him. I do want to have part and fellowship with the Lord. I bring my sin, problems, worries to you Lord. Forgive my sins. I believe Jesus Christ died, buried and risen again for me. Lord, clean me and make me into a new person. Thank you for helping and saving me. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
