must live bitter and empty lives. I pray for them regularly.

Maybe you prayed for me, when I was a member of a certain religion that will remain unnamed. I had a bitter and empty life, while I was in it. Things are different now. 😀🇵🇭
Yesterday at this time, I was sitting in Ninoy Aquino International Airport, posting on this thread, while watching 747s, Airbus 330s and PAF C-130s fly by. It was a nostalgic moment. 😆😄😁

Someone was praying for you! The awesome truth is that God knew before the foundation of the world who would come unto Him and be saved.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:3-14)
