“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬

ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭

God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless y’all!!

Jessica’s note at the end is from heaven

@Mr_DPZ

This song is so warm and romantic. Reminds me of being a teenager, even though I was in my mid-20s when it was released.

Bonus trivia: The cowbells in this song are sampled from "Take Me to the Mardi Gras" by Bob James. Most famously, they were sampled in "Peter Piper" by RUN-DMC. I never expected to hear them sampled in such a warm, romantic song.

@Burn143

I knew it sounded familiar! I was trying to figure out where I’ve heard that sound/cowbell from. But I never put 2 and 2 together.😂It’s funny cause I love Lips and Peter Piper too.
