The people in our world can be moody, fickle, and stubborn and Jesus wants us to bring joy to them!

Help me take Jesus to each and every one of them so that Jesus can become their Lord and Savior! I want to see Jesus begin to work in their lives to transform their anger, their moodiness, their crankiness, and their chronically unhappy disposition. Let’s make the world a better Place Lord! Let’s bring happiness to the chronically unhappy people!  It is in jesus name I ask and pray Heavenly Father, I do want to make a difference, I want to help Jesus help them transform! Amen!
