Forgive Us Our King: Healing For Your Soul
Description:
I came up with this title after completing my chapters I wanted to talk about. Looking at this world and the reality of it grieves my heart. Knowing the reality of the life I have lived and most people in my territory, we need to be forgiven for the sake of our children and our children’s children. It says in the Bible that God feels what we feel. He hurts when we hurt. Even for the souls that have gone on before us, if they did not ask God to forgive them for the things they have done on this earth, I ask for forgiveness as well. Forgiveness is very important for everyone if they want to be forgiven. If we do not forgive, we hold animosity in our hearts. Holding animosity in our hearts leads to heart disease and even heart failure. No one is worth you soul, so give it to Jesus Christ today. He will fight for you. Our job is to love one another in Jesus’s name. Amen.
