GOD DOES HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, HE DOES CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know GOD does have something to say to you!!!! Are you willing to listen???? Or are you too afraid??? HE does love you & care about everything going on in your live!!!
CHOICES!!!!!
"In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of HIM who works out everything in conformity with the purp...ose of his will." Ephesians 1:11 NIV
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you live and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose live, that both thou and thy seed may live." Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV
"This GOD is our GOD for ever and ever; HE will be our guide even to the end." Psalm 48:14 NIV
"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of CHOICE; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." William Jennings Bryan, LIFE BY DESIGN
HOW TO CHOOSE WISELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* The fact is, you--and only you-- are responsible for your actions. Making the right choices and dealing with the wrong ones, is something you'll have to shoulder all by yourself!!!!!
* Will you choose to bend the rules from time to time (knowing that you can), or will you commit to an unshakable faith in Christ??? NOW is the time to decide. Like it or not, the days ahead will be filled with all kinds of temptations!!!!!!!!!!!!
When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have a sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit-- Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar. So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-- It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.
There's another way of living which is not by constant sinning. It will bring you out brimming, because it is a "New Beginning!" This New Beginning is a "Born Again" experience! You can be young or, old as Methuselah.
Age doesn't matter, just contact God the Father' He through Jesus knows exactly what to do! If you haven't got the "Spirit" your a Candidate! You must have the Spirit as proof your Born Again!
This is not a "New Religion" it's a "Personal Relationship" With God the Father through Jesus Christ His Son. So come to God the Saviour and ask His forgiveness. For all the wrong you've done from birth right up till now.
He not only forgives sins, He also will forget them. Once you confess to Him there gone forever more! Isn't it wonderful we can have a New Beginning! Any-age/anytime Yes, He's waiting now for "YOU!"
My children, I am the Creator of ALL, and ALL power originates with ME! There is no power in heaven or on earth that is able to thwart My purposes for your life as you yield to Me. NONE!
Have I not promised that as you seek Me, you will find Me, when you seek Me with all of your heart? Have I not said to ask, and you will receive? Ask then, and let your hearts run wild and your imagination run vagabond, for you cannot plumb the depths of My planning and provision for My own.
Does not My Word promise that if you seek My kingdom and My righteousness, all else that is needed will be supplies? There is no need that I cannot meet, so long as you look to Me to do so. There is no problem for which I cannot provide a solution. There is no wound so deep that I cannot heal; and no situation for which there is no remedy. I AM GOD, IS ANYTHING TOO DIFFICULT FOR ME?!
I ask of you your all, not some random portion of your affection. I seek to have precedence over every area of your life. I, and I alone am to reign supreme in your life. Yet I would remind you that I have offered to you My all. Yes, for I have made available to you ALL that is needed to walk in victory and to truly reign in this life. ALL power, ALL wisdon...all that is needed is readily available through My Holy Spirit.
Do you lack anything? Then come to Me, and I will fill you to overflowing; and in so doing, will satisfy the deepest longings of your soul. True fulfillment is found in Me alone.
Hold Me not at arms length, but rather come in My embrace, for I wait with arms open wide. I love you as none other could, and I long to lavish My love upon you.
I let go and know that God is in charge. If I begin to view something in my life as a problem or a burden, It is time for me to let go and let God.
In prayer, I surrender control over the situation. Then I get out of the way and let God do God's part.
I surrender any nagging thoughts and worries that are on my mind, And I trust God. I have no need to control everything, Plan every detail, Or worry about every possibility.
My commitment is to trust God. So I become still and quietly but trustingly proclaim, "I let go and let God."
Trusting in God relieves me. I feel as if a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I let go of my own need to force a particular outcome;
Rather, I trust that God will bring about the right outcome. I let go and know that God, as always, Is in charge.
"Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail)." A)">(A)Psalm 55:22 (Amplified Bible)
My Friend, God isn't far away But surrounds you with His love each and every day! It was Him who opened your eyes this morning.
It is His Strength That will carry you through this day, And it is in His peace That your heart will find rest tonight.
God isn't far away. He is the light of this day. He is the sky above you, And the earth beneath you, And the life of every living thing.
God isn't far away. He is in every smile, In every thought that gives you hope, In every tear that waters your soul, In every moment you can't face alone.
God isn't far away. He is the love on a loved one's face, He is in the friends along the way, In strangers you've yet to meet, And blessing you've yet to receive.
God isn't far away. He is in every good thing that touches you. He is in every step you make And every breath you take. God is not far away for He is with you ALWAYS............................
Just Be My Child By: Merle Parnell _________________________________________________________
Merle & Mary's first meeting ========================
Mother, daughter enjoy tearful hug after 39 years of pain, separation. Mom never knew if the baby was boy or girl until December 18, 1998. It all started with a scrap of paper that had a couple's address on it........You will be blessed by this true story. "JUST BE MY CHILD"
Life can be a bowl of cherries! However, for a lot of us it is thought of as just the pits! In 1981 that is the way, I felt about my life.
God used two situations to force me to look where I was placing my confidence. The first was in my mother who had failed me in that she died. The second was in my husband of 28 years. He no longer wanted to be married to me. My confidence was shaken to the very core. Even an attempted suicide failed. Life for me was the "Pits."
With all the human props pulled out from under me I was forced to redirect my focus if I was to survive. For the first time in my entire life of 40 years, God had my full attention. I began to focus on God. I mean really focus. At this point in my life, I knew the only thing that I could really count on was God.
Everything I knew about God from the Bible was true. Jesus Christ loved me enough to allow his arms to be stretched out and nailed to a cross and there He took my place. All the sin of my life was placed on Him the day He was crucified. He was the only one who had not failed me!
In September 1981 during a revival, the evangelist preached a message, "Who are you? He gave an illustration about an Eagle who sat on a nest with four eggs. Two hatched and the eaglets decided to go down the mountain to see the world. They found a bunch of wild turkeys and lived with them for a while. As the eaglets grew they discovered that they did not look like the turkeys nor did they really want to eat what they ate.
So they decided to go back to where their nest had been to see who they really were. As they approached the summit of the mountain a full grown eagle took flight and began to soar into the wind. That was when the eaglets realized who they were. The point of the message was: "Are you trying to live like a Christian when you are not really a true believer." Over and over the evangelist would ask, "Who are you!" That phrase kept repeating itself in my mind over and over again.
The next day, September 18,1981. I was driving down the road and rethinking that message and that illustration of the eagles. All of a sudden, I realized that I was in that same situation. I did not know who I really was. I was certainly a displaced person.
The tears began to flow and I talked to God out loud. "God, I do not know where I am going, my life is a mess, and I certainly do not know who I am!" At that point God spoke to my heart and said, "Just be my child." It sounded so simple. No pressure to be anything! It was a call to give up my feeble efforts of trying to be what I thought others wanted me to be.
All I had to offer God was brokenness and strife. In my eyes, my life was the"pits." Yet here was his call. Imagine the God of the universe extending such as invitation to me. "Just be my child."
In tear stained cheeks, driving down the highway, I said, God I have nothing to offer but if you want me I will be yours. Take control of my life. I cannot handle it myself.
At that very moment, I felt as if I had been bound in chains and immediately those chains fell off. I was free! Free from the bondage of sin. I felt so wonderful. Now I just knew everything would be fine. But everything was not okay. Many lessons had to be learned. God is the perfect parent and He began my training as His child. I call it "God's Boot Camp." It is hard! But it is worth every tear we shed, every lesson we learn, every hurdle we go over! God never wastes any of our sorrows.
After the divorce, I was very bitter. God had to dross that out of my life. Psalms 37 literally became my guide to live by. I clung to every promise in that chapter. I had to pattern my life after the commands and the results were up to Him.
Psalms: 37
1. "Fret not thyself," because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 2. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land and verily thou shalt be fed. 3. Delight thyself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 4. Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in him and he shall bring it to pass. 5. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgement as the noonday. 6. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him. 7. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. (KJV)
From September 1981 until this day I can tell you God has truly brought the verses of this chapter true in my life. Time does not permit for me to share at this time the stories of the University of Life in which God has trained me. We will save those for another time.
There is one story I would like to share with you. It is a story of a 17 year old girl who went on a date; there was liquor involved and baby conceived. When her mother found out about it, she prayerfully considered the alternatives available. Marriage was not an option. That would have been another mistake for the boy and girl were friends but not in love. A home for unwed mothers was too scary for the young girl who had hardly even been out of her hometown except to visit grandparents in other states. Abortion was centainly not an option. This was a life created by God and far too percious.
The decision was made to find suitable adoptive parents. Through their Pastor a couple were located and a direct adoption was arranged. The heartbroken mother put her only daughter on a train for the long ride for Ohio to Tyler, Texas to live with the couple until after the baby was born.
The lovely Christian couple was 34 and 39 at an age where any adoption agency would have turned them down. Direct adoption was an answer to prayer and a fulfillment to the longing in their heart for a child of their own.
After the birth of her child, the young girl went to live with the lady's sister until she was able to travel back to her home. She never saw the baby, she never even knew whether the baby was a boy or a girl.
The girl came home. Her family never spoke another word about what happened. The young girl was left to suffer silently within her own self the sin, the guilt, and the shame of it all until that day September 18, 1981, when God asked her to be his child. I was that young girl.
This happened in 1959 --Thirty-nine years ago! It was a hard decision to make but the best for all concerned at the time. Having lived with the couple, I was confident the baby would be loved, cared for and raised in a Christian home.
There was never any question in my mind. I always knew in my heart that if and when the time came that we should meet, God would let me know it. When my mother died in 1981 I found the torn corner of an envelope with the return address of the couple. I kept the address but did nothing about it until September of this past year. I searched through the Internet and found the name and address of the couple in Tyler, Texas to see if I could locate them. Both of their names came up on the screen but at a different street address. I did not do anything at that point. I had to be sure this was of God. Too many years had past.
The thoughts came back to my mind over and over again. Not nagging thoughts, just a gentle nudge that kept coming back. Finally I felt that for some reason it was time to contact the couple. I talked it over with my husband and my children. They were all in agreement that I should.
On November 17, 1998, I wrote to Louise and Bill Hale the couple who adopted my baby. I sent pictures of our family and what had happened to me during the past 39 years. Ending with the question that perhaps they could tell me why the feeling to contact them was so strong.
The weeks went past and no word. Every day I asked my husband, "Ralph did I get any news from Texas." "No Merle, I'm sorry. Just be patient."
On December 18, 1998, we went to the Spartanburg Downtown Rescue Mission to help with the Christmas party. While we were away from home I received a phone call from Mary but she did not leave her name or a phone number. When we got home Ralph checked his e-mail and there was a message. Regarding Merle's e-mail to Louise and Bill Hale in Tyler, Texas.
Talk about emotions. Mine were running wild at that time. I wanted to hear but was afraid at the same time. When he opened up the letter that was the first time I knew what my baby was. It was signed your daughter Mary.
She spoke of my "long awaited letter." She had tried for eighteen months to find out about her heritage and me. She also explained how Louise had laid the envelope aside thinging it was advertisement. She has cataracts and does not see very well. That very day Louise woke up with a bad headache. Usually she would have gone back to bed. Instead that day she prayed and asked the Lord to help her do what she needed to do that day. That was the very day she opened a stack of old mail and found my letter.
That evening Mary tried to reach me by phone but I was out for the evening. She wanted to talk with me personally and did not leave her name or number. In the e-mail she gave me some information about her family but not a phone number. The next morning I could not sleep and rose up early to see if I could locate her phone number throught the Tyler phone directory. While I was on she came on too and sent an instant message to me and asked, "Mom is that you?" We sent messages back and forth for a while, finally she said get off, I want to call you. I want to hear your voice."
That afternoon Mary sent a family portrait via the Internet. Can you imagine the feeling I had when I first laid eyes on the child I had never held in my arms? I laughed, I cried, I walked the floor. All the emotions I had not allowed myself to feel came at once. She was so beautiful and she looked so much like my mother and my other children as well as myself.
This is truly a gift from God. Only one element out of place and we would not have been able to ever locate each other. My mother had died, my father moved and now the phone where he stays is not in his name. I had married twice and moved several times. It was virtually impossible for her to have located me. Bill died in 1989 and If Louise had remarried, I would not have been able to locate her. And if both had died I would never have known if I was searching for a man or woman.
Truly God has performed a miracle in our lives to bring us together at this time in our lives. What a wonderful Christmas this has been. Even though we were not together, just the fact of knowing that we found each other. It was all in God's timing and to his glory.
Life may seem like the "Pits" to you but it does not have to stay that way. God too is looking for his children. As you read this story he is extending an invitation. He calls to you . Come to me, just be my child! I love you and want you to be with me forever.
As you have read the story of how God made Himself so real to both Mary and I, we hope that you will be touched and hear His call. To be His child is a call to be adopted into God's family and is a life long commitment. Do you feel him calling to you, "Just be my child?" What will your answer be?
I don't know about you out there who might be reading this. But this truly touched my heart. There are so many people who are hurting out there. God just wants you to see his arms reaching out to you. Just come in to my arms & be my child . It is just so awesome to be in His loving arms.
This is something we all need to be careful of!!!!!!!!!!!
Judge and Be Judged
By: Rachel Latner
I judged you today; you didn't fit my image of how you should act. I wasted a whole day thinking you should have done it this way. I couldn't talk to my Father because my mind was completely absorbed in what I wanted you to be like.
I didn't have the joy my Father promises. I just couldn't think about that now. You were in the wrong. I picked up the word trying to prove I was right, then I saw it.
Judge and you shall be judge, condemn and you shall be condemned. On the outer side I had written --Release-- I started wondering what could this mean, Release?
I thought and I thought then it came to me. When I judge you I put myself in prison, When I condemn you I lock myself up. I don't talk to Jesus; I don't intercede for hurting people, I don't smile. I put myself in an emotional bondage.
So for today I will release you and me. We are both to live our lives imitating our Father.Today I didn't, please forgive me. I love you your way, and my way, But especially His Way.
It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season. Maybe you've forgotten that I wasn't actually born during this time of the year and that it has some of your predecessors who decided to celebrate My birthday on what was actually a time of pagan festival. Although I do appreciate being remembered anytime. How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily understood by those of u who have been blessed with children of your own. I don't care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My birth, just GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
Now, having said that let Me go on. If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santas and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn If all My followers did that there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on the town square because there would be many of them all around town.
Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holiday tree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching, explaining who I am in relation to you and what each of our tasks were. If you have forgotten that one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.
If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is my wish list. Choose something from it:
1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthday is being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, they tell Me all the time.
2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don't have to know them personally. They just need to know that someone cares about them.
3. Instead of writing Barack complaining about the wording on the cards his staff sent out this year, why don't you write and tell him that you'll be praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up. It will be nice hearing from you again.
4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can't afford and they don't need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth, and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms and remind them that I love them.
5 Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her.
6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their own life this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you don't know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smile; it could make the difference.
7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warm smile and a kind word. Even if they aren't allowed to wish you a "Merry Christmas" that doesn't keep you from wishing them one.Then stop shopping there on Sunday. If the store didn't make so much money on that day they'd close and let their employees spend the day at home with their families
8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary-- especially one who takes My love and Good News to those who have never heard My name.
9. Here's a good one. There are individuals and whole families in your town who not only will have no "Christmas" tree, but neither will they have any presents to give or receive. If you don't know them, buy some food and a few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some other charity which believes in Me and they will make the delivery for you.
10. Finally, if you want to make a statement about your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don't do things in secret that you wouldn't do in My presence. Let people know by your actions that you are one of mine.
Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do what I have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check out the list above and get to work; time is short. I'll help you, but the ball is now in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with all those whom you love and remember :
"Come in," God said to me, "So, you would like to interview Me?"
God smiled and said: "My time is called eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?"
"None that are new to you. What's the one thing that surprises you most about mankind?"
God answered: "That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.
That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.
That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future.
That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived..."
God's hands took mine and we were silent. After a long period, I said, "May I ask you another question?" "As a Parent, what would you ask your children to do?"
God replied with a smile: "To learn that they cannot make anyone love them, what is important is who they love. To learn that it takes years to build trust, and a few seconds to destroy it.
To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives.
To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. There will be others better or worse than they are. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.
To learn that they should control their attitudes, otherwise their attitudes will control them.
To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them.
To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.
To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply do not know how to show their feelings.
To learn that money can buy everything but happiness.
To learn that while at times they may be entitled to be upset, that does not give them the right to upset those around them.
To learn that great dreams do not require great wings, but a landing gear to achieve.
To learn that true friends are scarce, he/she who has found one has found a true treasure.
To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others, but that they forgive themselves.
To learn that they are masters of what they keep to themselves and slaves of what they say.
To learn that they shall reap what they plant; if they plant gossip they will harvest intrigues, if they plant love they will harvest happiness.
To learn that true happiness is not to achieve their goals but to learn who they are through striving towards them.
To learn that happiness is a decision. They decide to be happy with what they are and have, or die from envy and jealousy of what they lack.
To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see something totally different.
To learn that those who are honest with themselves without considering the consequences go far in life.
To learn that even though they may think they have nothing to give, when a friend cries with them, they find the strength to appease the pain.
To learn that by trying to hold on to loved ones, they very quickly push them away; and by letting go to those they love, they will be side by side forever.
To learn that even though the word "love" has many different meanings, it loses value when it is overstated.
To learn that they can never do something extraordinary for Me to love them; I simply do.
To learn that the shortest distance they could be from Me is the distance of a prayer.

If you really want, you can do this everyday. The choice is your!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's hard to understand when our loved one's pass. One comfort that we have, is if we know they have asked Christ in to their lives, and we know their final resting places is in heaven. And one day we will join them. It is still hard not to miss them here on earth; But with Christ we can endure all things. He can give us strength we never knew we had to move on. I came upon this poem and wanted to share it. My prayer is, that it can touch someone an help them move on.
Letter From Heaven By: Fredderick Riley
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.
Please do no be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through. God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you. It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years. Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; But together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too; That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain; Then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low; Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street and you've got Me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go... from that body to be free. Remember you're not going.... you're coming here to Me.
This is truly a great poem. It is very true. Try to be patient and wait upon the Lord and you will truly be surprise at what you will receive in return.
GOD'S MATE SELECTION: AUTHOR UNKNOWN
Everyone longs to give himself or herself completely to someone, to have a deep and committed soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and unconditionally.
But God says: No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone, with giving yourself totally, unreservedly to Me alone.
I love you, My child, and until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me; exclusively of anyone or anything else; exclusively of any other desires and belongings.
I want you to stop planning, stop wishing and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing -- one that you can't imagine. I want you to have the very best. Please allow Me to bring it to you.
Just keep your eyes on Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep experiencing that satisfaction knowing that I AM. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you. You must be patient.
Don't be anxious. Don't worry. Don't look around at the things others have Don't look at the things you think you want. Just keep looking up to me, or you will miss what I want to give you.
And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful than you could ever dream. You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have for you is ready (I am working even this minute to have both of you ready at the same time), until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me.. and this is perfect love.
TRUE LOVE KNOWS NO END, IT ALWAYS GOES STRAIGHT EVEN AROUND A CURVED BEND. IT PICKS YOU UP WHEN YOU'RE DOWN, AND WILL ALWAYS MAKE YOU SMILE, LEAVING NO TIME FOR A FROWN. IT MAKES EVERYTHING SEEM AND FEEL LIKE A RADIANT BEAM. IT MAKES EVERY OTHER EMBRACE SEEM SHALLOW, FOR TRUE LOVES EMBRACE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FOLLOW. IT GETS GREATER AND GROWS ON FOREVER, NOTING ANYONE DOES OR SAYS CAN MAKE IT SEVER. I HOPE ONE DAY EVERYONE FINDS THIS LOVE, FOR IT IS TRULY A GIFT SENT BY GOD, FROM HEAVEN ABOVE.
