I'd like to meet:

The One who IS life. He is what keeps us going. He is what lifts the heavy burden of guilt off of your back, and the weight of depression off your chest. He is the power not to simply bite your tongue to KEEP peace, but the power to MAKE peace. He is the power that frees you from excuses, and gives you a rock to stand on when you are going through hell. He is the power that gives you the ability to give power. He is the power to heal broken hearts. He puts famalies back together. He is breath. He is life. He is that power. And the beautiful thing is that He is for me. He is for you. He is for all people of all nations. Jesus, Yahweh....He is the one true God.Layout Provided By CodeMyLayout.com - Myspace Layouts
