1John 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father–Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. Isaiah 53:5 He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, & by His stripes we are healed. Hebr 7:25 Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. — We are His Children! He offers us peace, righteousness, forgiveness & so much more. By His stripes we are healed! He saved us & He loves us! He wants a relationship. He wants our praise. Praise like a child gives to a parent! Or a dog gives his owner. — Remember, Psalm 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, & into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, & bless His name. — Love Mel
