Remember, dear reader, that God loves you unconditionally and desires the best for your life. In times of difficulty, turn to his Word and find solace in the promises he has made. Trust in his plans for you, for they are plans to give you hope and a future.
May you be filled with the joy and peace that comes from knowing and loving God. May you find strength and encouragement in his Word, and may you share that love and encouragement with others. May God bless you abundantly and guide you on your journey of faith. Amen. ๐๐

Hebrews 12:1-3 โ "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting peopleโs sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christโs ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christโs behalf: Be reconciled to God."
