I havenβt spoken to this dear friend of mine in years, and just when I needed a word from God, she gave it to me.

Jeremiah 29:11 *For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
All I did was whisper a pray to God, and he delivered, again. Jesus Christ sent me all the protection, mercy, gifts, peace, love and joy that I asked for.
He said it in his word and so it was done.
Thank you Jesus for turning water into wine.
Thank you for your unconditional love and undying care. I accept you and need you in my life and I praise all the wonderful things that you have given us, and for the great ones on the way. In the name of Jesus Thank you, Amen.
