He loves us and has only the best instore for our lives.

Our Lord, Jesus Christ atoned for the sins of this entire world, and we do not have to sacrifice the blood of animals for our sins …it was paid on Calvary’s cross one Friday afternoon by His shed blood; but we are to be living sacrifices unto to God…ones of thanksgiving for His mercy and amazing grace…loving God and our fellow man. “By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.” Hebrews 13:15.

So, today…if you are a child of the living God…you should be shouting thank you Jesus…just because of who He is. . . “O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” Psalm 136:1.
