My Dear Sister in Christ Naomi Campbell
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.(John 3:16, 17).
Therefore having been justified by faith, may you have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom you have obtained your introduction by faith into his grace in which you stand; and you exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but you also exult in your tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out within your heart through the Holy Spirit who was given to you (Romans 5:1-5).
You may be afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise you also with Jesus and will present your mind, body and most important, your soul with him.
Therefore you should never lose heart, but through your inner flesh is decaying yet your inner soul is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for you an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while you look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporally, but the things which are not seen are eternal (2.Corinthians 4:8,9,14 16-18).
As you come forward with your apology on behalf of your behavior s, may your Lord Jesus Christ be near you to defend you, within you to refresh you, around you to preserve you, before you to guide you, behind you to justify you, above you to bless you. You shall lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Ghost for all the remaining days of your life.
Our Father, be gracious to your child our sister in Christ Naomi Campbell, O God, according to Thy loving kindness and According to the greatness of Thy compassion. She asked for your help, Father she maybe perplexed and maybe afraid. God if it is your will give this child of yours extended years while she is on earth through your “Grace”. God, send your angels to provide your child Naomi Campbell‘s and family all their needs as they lay there prayers and burden in your hands.
Lord your child Naomi Campbell is asking for a second chance to show you she welcomes you in her heart. She thank you for your son Jesus Christ who died for us all to have salivation.
Amen
