Before the new year starts, I thought I would end this year with the thing I am thankful for above all:
"For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even} gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life." John 3:16 Amplified Version
