my Savior and my God. - Every word of God has proved to be true;

whose sin is erased. - Jesus replied, “Blessed, rather, are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”

Nothing is impossible for you. Arise and shine forth, for your light has come
and the glory of the Lord has dawned upon you.Next verse!With image
