“It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him. If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him…” (2Tim 2:11, 12; KJ) Let us pray: “Dear Lord Jesus I bow before You! I worship You in the beauty of Your holiness! I say that You loved me first! Before You came into my heart, love was just an imagination, a stranger I envied from afar. But You came to me… You filled my heart with Your life! Your love has freed me from sin, shame, regret, torment and guilt! Thru it all, I have discovered, that Your love never fails! Even when I was unfaithful, You remained faithful, for You cannot deny Yourself! When I was sinking in depression, Your love was my anchor. Your love lifted me and put my feet back, on the Rock of Ages, Cleft for me! Oh, that I may know You better, that I may love You more… That I may share in the fellowship of Your sufferings for me, that I may experience this joyful glory called eternal life and the power of Your resurrection! Lord Jesus, I love You now and forever! In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen!’
