~ If You Only Believe ~
( Balassi )
~O~
Jesus is the only way
For Salvation any day
He can Forgive all your sin
If you only believe
Salvation you'll receive
A new life you can begin
Jesus can make you brand- new
You can give Satan his due
And in Jesus' name you can win.

- HOW TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR -
A salvation prayer, known by many Christians as a "Sinners Prayer," is a prayer one would say to repent from sin, ask God for forgiveness, confess belief in Jesus Christ, and accept him as Lord and Savior. Saying a salvation prayer is the first step in your personal relationship with God.
If you believe the Bible offers truth about the way of salvation, but you have not taken the step to become a Christian, it's as simple as praying this prayer. You can pray by yourself, using your own words. There is no special formula. Just pray from your heart to God, and he will save you. If you feel lost and don’t know what to pray, here’s a salvation prayer that you can follow:
Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself only. I am sorry, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me.
I believe that You died on the cross for me to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to You now and ask you to take control of my life; I give it to You. From this day forward, help me to live every day for You and in a way that pleases You.
I love you, Lord, and I thank You that I will spend all eternity with You.
Amen.
If you have just prayed this prayer, congratulations!:))
You have received Christ as your Savior and have made the best decision you will ever make—one that will change your life forever!

~ CONQUERING JEALOUSY ~
- Psalm 37:1-4 -
Envy can damage the life of a Christian. A feeling of displeasure about someone else's good fortune can also harm a believer's witness, since it often causes people to act out of hostility and bitterness. And the jealous person suffers far more than his or her target.
Before we can rid ourselves of envious feelings, we must be willing to confess we have them in our heart. Like greed, jealousy is an emotion we don't like to admit we feel, but the Lord already knows. We also must realize that harboring envy is the same as objecting to God's blessing upon someone else's life. Regardless of how we try to rationalize such feelings, we are in conflict with the Lord—a person cannot be simultaneously jealous and right with Him.
The surest way to strip away resentment is through prayer. After we've confessed to the Lord that we have jealous feelings, we must begin to pray for the other person. Our petition should contain two elements: first, an offering of thanksgiving for the blessings in his or her life, and second, a request that God will place love for the individual in our heart. Initially, praying in this way will no doubt be difficult, but as love grows—and it will—you'll find the words come more easily and joyfully.
Envy is inappropriate for followers of Christ since it distracts us from the Lord. We have the promise that if we delight in our heavenly Father, He will give us the desires of our heart. So we need to refocus our attention upon Him and what He is doing in our own life.

-Reflect & Pray -
There's no fear in Love. But perfect Love drives out fear, because fear has to
do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in Love.
-1 John 4: 18
Loving God, thank You for Your Love. Help us to trust in and follow Your Light and Love even when the way gets dark.
~O~
