we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of
the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God
abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed
the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in
God, and God in him. 1 John 4:13-16
MOST PRECIOUS
I didn’t ask for flowers
I didn’t ask for cards
I didn’t ask for candy
Though they show precious love.

I didn’t ask for money
I didn’t ask for gold
I didn’t ask for diamonds
Though they’re lovely to behold.
I only asked forgiveness
And in this truth I rest
Of Jesus’ most precious gift
His blood He willingly shed.
I bowed my head so humbled
That He died on a cross for me
On my knees I crumpled
Sobbing tears of agony.
Overwhelmed and overflowing
My heart could not contain
The love that flowed within me
As He gently spoke my name.

“I love you, my dear daughter,
I always have and always will
You are the most precious diamond
Refined on Redemption’s Hill.
“I’ll never leave you, nor forsake you
I’ll never break any of My promises
I’ll always be right here within and beside you
I love you for time and eternity.”

come to the Father so we can ward off Satan’s attacks.
we fall into sin? We have a choice to make. We can either continue in that sin
(and become unhappy feeling far from God) or, we can go to our Heavenly Father,
confess our sin and be renewed in His love to worship Him fully.
nothing ― NO THING ― that we can do that is so bad God won’t forgive us for it? 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He
is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.” Every. Single. Time.

you feel like God is unreachable, won’t you find a quiet place to kneel before
Him and confess your sins so He can purify your heart and you won’t feel so far
away anymore?
