Therefore, I call on You Jesus – with simple child-like faith; that You died on the Cross for my sins and rose again from the dead on the third day. Please fill Me with Your Holy Spirit – to love and live for You the rest of my days on earth. Thank You for saving me. Dear Jesus, it is in Your name I pray this prayer. Amen!”

ONCE AGAIN, A BLESSED FATHER’S DAY TO YOU!
