THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
Several times during that day, Mom had taught her son "The Lord's Prayer"
(actually "The Disciple's Prayer" - Matt. 6:9-13).
That night, as he knelt by his bed, he began to repeat that prayer:
"Our Father, which art in heaven, Harold be thy Name..."

Christians, we are sinners ALL.
And, except for the love, mercy and grace of God, we would be destined for hell.
Were it not for Jesus paying the price of our redemption, we would suffer the eternal wrath of Almighty God. Christ paid the price, and we receive the gift of salvation.
For this gift of eternal forgiveness and salvation, God only desires PRAISE!
We owe Him the entirety of our lives.
We owe Him ETERNAL praise!
Yes, it is a duty for us to praise Him.
But, it is also THE most pleasant exercise in our lives!
We are made NEW in Christ Jesus! (2Cor. 5:17)
His Holy Spirit SEALS us, and indwells our cleansed hearts. (Eph. 1:13)
Our souls yearn and long for "the day of redemption" to fully claim us (Eph. 4:30).
Until that day, let us give God PRAISE!
And upon that day, let us give Him praise FOREVER!
Love ya,
Bruce
