Let's pray for Smilee's request for forgiveness and a testimonial life. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9) Trust that God's grace is sufficient! 
Hello everyone! Let's lift up 
Share your prayers and support in Jesus' Name. 
Friends, let's lift up 
Let's lift up:
Jesus is listening.While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it's not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.
—2 Corinthians 5:4-5 NLT
Two forces are at work within us as children of God. They work in opposite directions at the same time. Our bodies are subjected to decay and move in the direction of things mortal — death awaits our physical form. However, our inner natures are being transformed and conformed to the nature and character of Christ. Life is at work in us even though it looks like death will claim us. We are guaranteed this life because of the work of the Spirit, who not only gives our spirits life but also empowers us to resurrection with new, glorious, and immortal bodies to share in what is life indeed!
To you, God, the eternal and almighty One, be glory and honor, forever and ever. May my life reflect your eternal glory as the Holy Spirit works in me and brings your guarantee of grace to me. Thank you, Father, for personally preparing me for this transformation. In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen.
