And he will make you a people holy to the LORD your God, as he promised.] [Story] The new King of England, Charles II, serves as Crown Prince I once visited a slum in London. During the visit, I was surprised to find that a poor man selling magazines on the street was actually a classmate of King Charles 44 years ago. One of his classmates at that time is now the crown prince, and another is the crown prince. One is a homeless man living on the street. [Thinking] Have you met a friend or classmate you haven’t seen for many years? Now that you are in Christ, with God’s grace and eternal hope, what about him? Pray for the people you know, and ask the Lord to bless them, and hope that their lives will be peaceful and joyful, and that they will have the blessings of eternal life. [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father God, we are all humble people, but You love We, as long as we are willing to accept you as our God and obey your ways, you will accept us as your honored people in your kingdom according to your promise, completely belong to you, and be able to enjoy all the blessings you have given us. We give thanks and are willing to obey and follow You. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
