The things that have always been important: to be a good man, to try to live my life the way God would have me, to turn it over to Him that His will might be worked in my life, to do my work without looking back, to give it all I’ve got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer.

No matter how much you’ve sinned, no matter how much you’ve stumbled, no matter how much you fall, no matter how far you’ve got from God, don’t give up. You can still be redeemed. As someone says, keep the faith.

I wear black for those who never read or listen to the words that Jesus said, about the road to happiness, through love and charity.

Why me, Lord? What have I ever done to deserve even one of the blessings I’ve known? Why me, Lord? What did I ever do that was worth love from you and the kindness you’ve shown? Lord, help me, Jesus, I’ve wasted it so. Help me, Jesus. I know what I am. Now that I know that I’ve needed you so, help me, Jesus. My soul’s in your hand.

Jesus will not fail me, I shall not be moved.

Well, I take great comfort in the words of the apostle Paul who said, ‘What I will to do, that I do not practice. But what I hate, that I do.’ And he said, ‘It is no longer I who do it, but the sin that dwells within me. But who,’ he asks, ‘will deliver me from this body of death?’ And he answers for himself and for me, ‘Through Jesus Christ the Lord.’

Everything I have and everything I do is now given completely to Jesus Christ.
