LORD IS CALLING OUR NAME
Lord, we await for you to call our name through the Holy Spirit. Everything we have in our heart is nothing but the love you have showed us through our time, the love you showed us from the day you sacrificed your life for us sinners. We long to be with you in the promised land. We seek true happiness and forgiveness so we may be called by name to enter the gates of Heaven where Jesus will receive us with open arms. Earth is full of sinners and man suffers due to his fault. Evil is disguised by men who do not follow the commandments of God. Man should not lose faith or hope. The world is not only full of pain and suffering, but also of goodness and love we have been taught by Jesus. Love God our Father for he is the one who fills our hearts and souls with hope. The hope that Jesus will rise again to call our names one by one to show us the way home. The sun, the moon, and the stars will become one shining light in heaven, and we will feel the happiness and love we seek. Matthews 28:5-6 (The angel tells the women, “He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lays.” The angel then instructs them to tell the disciples this news and that they will see him in Galilee.)
