Do you need to see?

But we don’t really need to see to believe (20:20)
What more do YOU need, to recognise Jesus is your Lord and your God?
Dear God,
I am sorry for ignoring the truth about Jesus
Thank you for sending Jesus to die my death and give me life.
Please forgive me and change me to live with Jesus as my Lord and my God.
Amen
