 For our neighbor, break the hardened, shape the softened, fill the empty, mend the shattered. Show them the truth, love, forgiveness, and hope of Jesus. Amen. It is in Christ that true hope and change is found. Romans 7, 4 through 6, it says, Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through your body of Christ, so you may belong to one another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.
