Dear Heavenly Father,

    Redeemer of all.  You made us.  You will redeem us.  You, who have existed in time before time and will exist in time after time, gave us a soul, a heart , a mind.  These give us the power to know, to discern and to learn.  In this way we can be redeemed.  This life is our journey to redemption.

     Our journey is amid the beauty and perils of this earth.  On each path we will find light and darkness.   These are lessons that form and shape our souls, hearts and minds.  

    You gave us the power of choice.  We are not puppets; we are not automatons.  We are spirits enclosed in flesh.  

     You gave to us the will to choose between darkness or light, to choose between Your truths or the world’s illusions.  In choosing darkness we are trapped in a loveless self, isolated from the healing light of love.    In choosing Your Truths we learn that in loving we are loved, in pardoning we are pardoned in dying we are redeemed and shall be one with You for all eternity, for time after time. 

Rejoice in the Lord Always.
