Please, I beg you, to continue to turn your heart to –

• the one that can give you hope, the one that can ease your pains,
• the one that can help you see another way of doing things,
• the one that can show you a gleam of light,
• the one that can lift you up from your afflictions,
• the one that can make everything right,
• the one that can brighten your day,
• the one that can take you to a better world,
• a better life with true happiness in this world and in the eternities

It does not matter that others do not yet see the light or agree. You can feel good again and not bad. Because only God’s gift of eternal life, God’s gift of forgiveness, God’s gift of you becoming the best you can be is yours for the asking and for the taking. God wants to heal you today. He loves you so much, that is why He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to come to this earth. That is why Jesus Christ was born of a virgin. That is why Jesus suffered for our transgressions. That is why Jesus was resurrected on the third day and now reigns in the heavens above.
