It’s hard for us to think of ourselves as Holy.

Not by what we do but by His power and grace.
We are Holy because He is Lord and Creator and gives us His holiness.
Jesus is Lord.
11/11 Ephesians 2:8-9

He is faithful and just to forgive you and give you eternal life.

He will take care of you.
Forgive and forget. The Lord will repay you.
