A Servant's Heart
It is important to be humble, serving others and following Jesus as an example of selflessness and love. With Jesus’s gift of love, we can serve others with the fruit of the spirit helping us through.
If it wasn’t for that love, I don’t know where I would be today. I know it is only through that love that a dear sister in Christ was able to help me in many hurtful and hard times. It was her gift of love and patience that gave me the strength to go on. Till this day we are still best friends. Her reward will be great in Heaven!
Love, Your sister in Christ.
