I know God is real. It is that even when i have a soft answer, God sees the arrogance inside. I have not been diligent in obeying, although thought it was close reading His word. Please help me live the agape love learned in my head but not used in life. To cover all wrongs, believe in those we love, expect the best of them and always stand the ground in defending them. We know all the gifts from God someday come to an end, but not His love. Grant us this, God, into our hearts as we deny ourself and follow You. May You have mercy on our souls, our children, other families who have not known You yet, also neighbors to love as ourself. Please do not let the blood sacrifice of Jesus for us not be in vain, amen.
