Remember when we place God 1st in our lives, in our hearts, our souls, our minds and our strength then, we are able to live a lifelong process that requires us to lean on God through our thoughts and adopt them as our own.

When I was called by God 2 decades ago to do what I'm doing now for you it's because of the love that's in me that he wants me to share with you through baptism and through the Holy Spirit.

Remember in psalms 14 1st 12 it says there is a way which seems right to a man but in the end it is the way of death.

I want to challenge you that if you're constantly preoccupied with immediate deeds and desires seek the Lord to help you understand what he wants for your future.

When you are learning of him talking with him and sharing your life with him trust and faith will replace fear and doubt.

Fill your mind with a picture of glory to come and life will begin to look quite different.

Remember this day praise the Lord for all he has done and let it motivate you to do his work for the kingdom and may the grace of God shower you with his everlasting love shower you.

You need to know the truth that sinners are ready to come to the savior and that all they need to do is to have the knowledge of their sin for the gospel to make sense to them be ready to day to share your faith with another brother or sister.

Remember the Lord wants us to forgive he wants us instead to look at the cross so that we can understand what forgiveness is and the price that was paid for our own forgiveness by Jesus Christ.

We need to forgive as Christ forgive us.
