I see why you wanted me to wait Lord. You taught me through patience, your strength, and sacrfice. Dead to myself is now true in my heart. Finally I see what this means to you. Try to please myself because my selfish desires within me. No longer will I hurt my brothers and sisters. Than you Jesus for bleeding for me thank you Jesus for giving me strength to preserve through the hard times. Thank you Jesus for you. I have been made alive with you Lord. We praise you Father. We thank God for the work that you have done in our lives. For you have taken what is dead and now made it alive. We thank you Father for giving us life abundantly and giving life to those who will simply ask.
