I open my heart completely to you Lord, please come into my soul and give me eternal life so that my name will be written down in the Lamb's book of life. I believe that you died for my sins and rose again from the dead the third day. Yes, Lord, you are the one and only Almighty God. Please help me do your will Lord, not my will, as I strive to live as a new creature that you have created within me. I ask that you be with me now Lord through eternity.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. {NIV 1 Cor. 13:4-8}
