Thank you slim for the reminder.
Folks are always praying, asking for this or that, and that's fine but don't forget we have been offered already the best gifts anyone could give, forgiveness of sins, salvation and eternal joy.
I was going to say 'freely offered' but we must step up in humility and repentance, and admit we cannot be our own little gods, deciding right and wrong for ourselves, any more.
I used to fight God, thinking He was mean and vindictive. What a fool I was. I know now you are right that He loves us, I need no further proof than that He put up with me, waited for me, all those years.
