A Prayer:
Lord God, in the start of our walk with You, all we knew was Your love and Your forgiveness. But as time goes on, we have come to learn so many other things about who You are, and what You do in the lives of Your children. We simply want to say thank You for being who You are, and blessing us so. And the best is yet to come. One day, and who knows how soon it could be, we will behold Your Glorious Face, and be with You forever and ever. And with all those we have known who have gone on ahead of us. And we will meet countless multitudes that we have read about in Your Word, and meet additional multitudes of others just like us who have been saved by Your grace. We love You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
