Love for the Father and the Son
By Michelle Demeree
Melbourne, Florida

You must love the Father and the Son.

Only in God’s love can you find

your inner self.

You must find faith to pray to God.

You must work on your own

to find out about your feelings.

You can find your inner

self when you go with

the Lord.
