YOU ARE GOD’S HOPE DIAMOND!

“But now thus says the Lord who created you and formed you.

Fear not, I have redeemed you.I have called you by name and

you are mine.

When you pass through the waters I will be with you; in the

rivers you shall not drown.When you walk through fire you shall not be burned; the flames

shall not consume you.

For I am Yahweh your God, the holy one of Israel your Savior.I give Egypt as your ransom;

Ethiopia and Seba in return for you.

Because you are precious in my eyes and glorious and because

I love you.”

Where do we begin?

At HOPE!

Where do we end?

At HOPE!

Why study morality?

It gives HOPE!
