One Thinking: Volume 1, Part 1

By Aeon Downey

I AM THAT I AM. I am The LORD Jesus Christ who was born of blood and water through a chosen virgin. I am Jesus who was crucified, died, and risen from the grave. I am alive forever and I have the keys. I have the power to forgive sins. I AM GOD alone and there is none else. Therefore, by my name, I forgive you of all your sins. You are forgiven. I love you, and nothing or anyone will never change the truth that I am love. Know in your heart right now, that I Jesus love you, accept you, and forgive you. Believe and receive my mercy which endureth forever. By my mercy, grace, and goodness you are forgiven. It does not matter what you have done, who you did it to, who you did it with, how dark the deed, or how many times you have done it. All that matters right now is that you believe in me, The LORD God. It is I, the Holy One of Israel who forgives you of all your wrongs, sins, and shortcomings. You will never be able to "work your way into heaven, work your way into eternal life, or work your sins away." You enter into my rest only by my Son, Jesus Christ whom I sent to earth to be the atonement Lamb in your place. My Word and blood shed upon the cross at Calvary, Jerusalem is washing over you right now and cleansing you; making you right with me, thus making peace with me the Father. Know and understand that it is I, the Holy Spirit who will keep you in my grace because I live and dwell in you when you believe in me. Trust in me the LORD God. I am meek and think good thoughts towards you whom I love, accept, and forgive. Come unto me, and I will give your thirsty souls rest. 1 John 2:12.; Daniel 9:9; Luke 7:47-48; Ephesians 4:32; Matthew 6:12-15; 2 Corinthians 2:7; Colossians 2:13 and Colossians 3:13; 2 Chronicles 714; Psalm 130:4; Psalm 86:5; Psalm 32:1; Romans 4:7; Luke 6:37; and Ephesians 1:7.

Foreword

The LORD is God. And His name is Yahweh, I AM THAT I AM. The Word of God (Revelation 19:11–13, Isaiah 55:11, and Hebrews 4:12) is living and active. The Word of God is Jesus Christ. And by the Word, God made the heaven, the earth, mankind, all that is in the earth by His Word (John 1). We equally acknowledge that God is love and God loves you (John 3:15–18). Therefore, O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever (Psalm 136:1). O taste and see that the LORD is good: Blessed is the man that trusteth in him (Psalm 34:8).

Why did The LORD have fellowship, speak with, and walk with Adam, Moses, King David, the prophets Elijah, Daniel, Jeremiah, and Elisabeth (the mother of John the Baptist), and Mary (the mother of Jesus Christ)? Why did God show grace unto Noah (Genesis 8:2)? Why did God show grace unto strong and faithful women such as Queen Esther and Ruth (the great-grandmother of David) and use them in mighty ways?

The answer is simplistic and without ambiguity: Because He is the LORD God, Yahweh. And the LORD God, Yahweh is a God of love, compassion, goodness, and kindness. Since He is loving (John 3:1–18), compassionate (Lamentations 3:22–23 and Matthew 9:36–39), good (Psalm 118:1–29), and kind (Luke 8), He chooses to love, save, redeem, deliver, help, bless, heal, strengthen, and hold up His people who seek and trust in Him (Isaiah 55:6–7).

Speaking the truth found in the Holy Scriptures teaches us that His mercy endures forever (which is His love, goodness, and kindness toward mankind). And likewise, He loved and showed His salvation to the men and women (Moses, Esther, and many others) who feared, sought out, trusted, served, and honored him through the active engagement of fearing God (Proverbs 1:29-30; Proverbs 15:33; Proverbs 1:7; Psalm 25:14-15; and Exodus 9:19-23).

The fear of the LORD produces in our lives a Godly reverence and awe towards God that propels us to act in trusting, following, and obeying the LORD. The expression of the fear of the LORD in our daily lives is signified with how we apply the word of God to our daily lives, how we treat one another, how we respond to daily temptations, how we choose to think and speak, and how what attitude we adopt in our marriages, homes, schools, and places of work.

The fear of the LORD (our daily walk with God) is how we cooperate with the Holy Spirit and how we get into agreement with God. The fear of the LORD is us (the peoples of God around the world who chose to believe in, trust in, call upon the name of Jesus Christ) putting ourselves and our pride aside long enough to realize and understand who God is, to know Him personally in a real-personalized relationship. The fear of the LORD is the Word of God lived out in our daily lives.

Acknowledging the LORD means that we unite with him (uniting with God is alignment, agreement, and cooperation with Him who wants to have a living breathing relationship with us) and hearken unto the Word of God. Hearken means to pay attention to, give heed to, and to perform/do the word of God. The Word of God is the LORD Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:11-15). The word of God is the Holy Scriptures, the truths and commandments of God unto us, His people. Understand that Jesus Christ is the Word and He is also the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:1-31).

Clearly, this is why when we sincerely desire the milk and meat of the word of God, we are looking directly and intently in the eyes of God and hearing living waters of life, love, peace, rest, joy, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, power, grace, mercy, goodness, and glory. Because it is through Jesus Christ (who is the Word of God) who has the power to save our souls from eternal destruction out of the lake of fire and brimstone (which is the second death). Only God can save, redeem, and deliver our souls from the law of sin and death. This is why it is absolutely vital to know who God is.

The reality of the matter is as follows: Trust in the living God, Jesus Christ and become saved. When we are saved and born again, this means that we enter into a living breathing relationship with Jesus Christ who loves us, accepts us, and has already forgiven us (salvation). Salvation is by the grace of Jesus Christ and comes only through faith in His holy name. Salvation by Jesus Christ is alignment, agreement, and cooperation with the Holy Spirit of truth. We cannot save ourselves. Money will not buy your soul eternal security, only the blood of Jesus. Thus, we would be wise to align our lives with Jesus Christ!

Why don’t you simply act by getting up, standing up, and arising in Christ? Go ahead and grab hold of the opportunity that is right in front of you. Take the step of faith and move towards God. He is waiting to move towards you as He already has when He (Jesus) went to the cross and died for you. Then God moved towards you again when He made me and sent me to write unto you herein.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen (Hebrews 11). Why don’t you give God a chance to love, speak, guide, heal, and restore you to His place of goodness, grace, and mercy? Simply believe in Jesus Christ and trust in Him whose name is the LORD of Lords and King of kings; the LORD of hosts. When you put your faith, hope, and trust in the living God, Jesus Christ (the risen Saviour and our King), you are moving closer to God, getting into alignment with the creator of the heavens and earth, and getting into agreement with Him who made us (The LORD with whom we have to do with; Hebrews 4). Alignment and agreement produces in your life salvation, hope, health, wisdom, and prosperity. Alignment with the LORD, agreement with God, and cooperation with the Holy Spirit is the life you are looking for and the happy, healthy, and prosperous life that fulfills.

Henceforward, alignment, agreement, and cooperation with the LORD God Almighty is walking upright in the word of God which produces in your life the life you deserve and the life that Jesus Christ died on the cross to freely give you.

Salvation produces the fruit of hope, faith, and action. Salvation produces kingdom fruit that makes you saved, redeemed, delivered, healthy, strong, mighty in the land, prosperous, in overflow, and blessed to be a blessing unto others – because He lives in you! God in you produces newness of life and a hope worth living for! Go for it and live for the living God who dwells within you and the Holy One of Israel who is speaking to you right now.

I AM THE LORD. That is my name. I am with you now and forever more. Trust in me. I will never leave you; I will not let you go. I am powerful enough to keep you in my presence and protect you from the darkness that wastes away the heathen and wicked who know not my truths and who want nothing to do with my goodness. I have chosen you to bear fruit unto the glory of the Father. I am the Almighty who loves you. Now is your time to walk in me.

The fear of the LORD is agreement, alignment, and cooperation with the living LORD God Almighty who loves, forgives, and accepts you right now within the context of walking with Jesus Christ in newness of spirit in Him by the Holy Spirit who dwells within you (Colossians 1:26-29; 2 Timothy 1:1-14; Revelation 1:8; John 8:31-32; Revelation 1:18; and Revelation 21:6)!

In the same sense, Jesus Christ loves you, wants to walk with you, talk with you, and have an open line of communication with you (to save, redeem, and deliver your soul) to move closer to you and move your life forward in Him with Him. All it takes to align your life with God and get into agreement with the LORD is believe, trust in Him, and follow His Son, the risen Saviour our Rock, Jesus Christ.

Read Romans 10:1-21. All of the Holy Scriptures are Inspired by God the Holy Spirit as each writer over the centuries was called, ordained, anointed, and led by the LORD to write on His behalf for the divine purpose of saving as many willing souls who choose to believe in Him, Jesus.

The book of Romans was inspired by the Holy Spirit and written by Tertius (Romans 15:22) as the Apostle Paul spoke to the Roman believers who were living in Rome. God is teaching us through Paul the apostle and Tertius the writer that God is good, God is faithful, God is gracious unto us, and God is merciful to forgive us.

Moreover, the LORD is teaching us via His chosen and anointed ones (Paul and Tertius) that it is by the blood of Jesus Christ - forgiveness, mercy, and salvation are available to all of us who believe in the risen Saviour and get up to stand in faith and call upon the name of the LORD Jesus Christ.

To be saved and born again is not rocket science or a distant far away mystery. Coming to Jesus Christ and asking Him to be your LORD, friend, counsellor, God, companion, help, hope, peace, rest, strength, courage, joy, healer, deliverer, redeemer, restorer, and guide is what calling upon the name of the LORD means. Salvation is the being saved and born again life that is lived out from within (since God the Holy Spirit lives and dwells within us when we become saved born again believers in Jesus Christ; John 14:17-29).

Salvation is the continuous union we share with the indwelling presence of God through the Holy Spirit. This continuous union (alignment, agreement, and cooperation with the LORD) produces in our lives the happy, healthy, and prosperous life that fulfills. This divine fellowship, union, communication, alignment, agreement, cooperation, and divine presence – are all made possible only through the risen Saviour our Rock, the living Son of God whose name is Jesus Christ (Psalm 24:1-10; Philippians 2:1-13).

This is why we are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:1-22) and salvation (being saved) comes by speaking out loud with your audible voice unto God (this is what it means to call upon the LORD as taught to us in Romans 10:9-13) and echoed from Psalm 116. In Psalm 116, call upon the name of the LORD is written of three times. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful (Psalm 116:5). Acts 2:21.

I, even I, am the LORD: and beside me there is no saviour. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore, ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? Isaiah 43:11-13. Amen

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and tomorrow (Hebrews 13:8) is the only One alive with the power to save, redeem, deliver, restore, and heal us. Only by the blood of Jesus Christ are we saved and born again where our lives and souls are aligned with, in agreement with, and in cooperation with Almighty God who made us and who holds the entire world together in His hand. Praise the LORD, for His mercy endureth for ever. Let all the earth worship Him who is GOD alone. Exalt the LORD. Amen.

As Nicodemus’ (a ruler of the Jews during the time Jesus walked on the earth) heart burned and his soul ached for truth, meaning, purpose, and fulfillment, so is your heart aching. Your soul is hungry for truth and you are searching for true life meaning. Your spirit is thirsty.

Know and understand (Proverbs 2) that it is only the LORD Jesus Christ who can fill you with His goodness, grace, and living waters that will wash all your guilt and shame away in one quick swoop (Ephesians 2:1-4). How is this possible? Because with God all things are possible (Luke 1:37; Genesis 18:14; and Jeremiah 32:27).

Faith is believing and speaking (Hebrews 11, 2 Corinthians 4:13, and Romans 4:17). You might say, Why would God love me and allow me to come home to Him where my soul belongs? Why should I stop running from God and just let Him into my heart? Because God is love, Jesus Christ has already forgiven you, and the LORD wants to heal and use you for His good work. No more buts and no more excuses.

Proverbs 18:21 teaches us that death and life are in the power of the tongue. Therefore, we would be wise to get into agreement with the God who loves, accepts, and forgives you right now. Do you want to be saved and connected to the God of the universe who has your life in the palm of His mighty and loving hand? Then simply say to the LORD right now: God here I am. Save me, wash me, and use me. Help me and guide my life in you. Amen.

Salvation, hope, and peace for your weary and thirsty soul is really this simple! Now it is time for you to get up, stand up, and arise in Jesus Christ is with you now and who is for you. The God of glory and the King of kings lives on the inside of you right now. Go forward with the LORD and be the man/woman/teenager that God has called you to be in Him.

Why would the God of the heavens and the earth have mercy on you and save your tired soul? Why would the LORD of hosts give you a second or third or 157th chance? Because God is good, God is real, and the LORD is alive (Revelation 1:8 and Revelation 1:18) who sees what you have gone through and cares about your life and future (Jeremiah 29:11 and Lamentations 3:21-26).

Now listen to what God has to say unto you:

It is I the LORD who am speaking unto you right now. Do you believe in me? Do you want hope, do you want to be healed and restored, and do you want to be prosperous and debt free? Then come unto me the Rock Jesus Christ. Come as you are. I am ready to save your soul, help, heal, and bless you back to strength where you are wealthy, happy, productive, and are faithful while producing my good fruit unto the glory of the Father. Amen. Praise the LORD.

Genesis 4:26, 2 Samuel 22:4, and Psalm 18:3 teaches us that God wants to save, heal, give you your roar back, take you from the desolate wilderness that has battered you, and heal you so that your life explodes with overflow and blessings (rendering you useful in His mighty hands of love, grace, mercy, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion).

All the elements spoken of herein this literary document requires faith in God whose name is Yahweh, The LORD. Faith is believing and speaking, Therefore, by faith, believe in the LORD God that Jesus Christ wants to bless you with good things (Proverbs 10:21-22), have restored fellowship with you, wants to heal and help you, and He wants to increase and prosper you (Psalm 35:27).

Acknowledging the LORD is obedience in action. Obedience is faith in action (Hebrews 11). Obedience is walking by His faith, and upright in the word of God daily: Proverbs 2:1-11, Proverbs 3:1-5:23, Proverbs 23:17, and Psalm 37:23). Acknowledgement of the LORD is faithful obedience unto the word of God (following Jesus Christ).

Some will question God. Many will disregard God and throw up their hands in disgustful disdain against Him who made it all, and say something foolish like:

I don’t need any God. I am perfectly self-sufficient. I am smart, accomplished, successful, and rich. Why do I need anyone’s help to make it? I’ve already made it by myself. I’ll just throw some cash at some church and be done with it all. Money will by my ticket to heaven and my good looks are good enough to purchase my immortality. Besides, why should I trust, follow, obey, serve, fear, and follow a God that is invisible and took the life of my mother, father, brother, sister, husband/wife, child, best friend? Why should I give God the time of day since I lost my business, car/truck/land, or I got locked up?

The answer to these questions is all found in one place, the only place of grace on this planet: in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and in His loving, merciful, gracious, caring, and forgiving arms. Only God can save us; and not we ourselves. It does not matter how many children we have produced or how many buildings/cities we have built with our hands.

Only the living LORD God Almighty has the power to forgive us of all our sins, wash and cleanse us from our filth and darkness, and give us the good, happy, healthy, and prosperous life that is worth living! Only Jesus Christ can forgive us and give us entrance into heaven. Only by His precious blood and by His saving grace can a single name of a human being be written in the book of life (which is also known as, the book of the Lamb).

John 10:9, John 17:7, and Acts 2:1-47. To receive the answers to these questions and similar ones, it requires faith in the LORD Jesus Christ. God does not tolerate evil, wickedness, blatant stubborn foolishness, or deceitful/arrogant/pride.

God is not stupid and He certainly does not tolerate drunk, high-minded, prideful, drugged up, or oppressive predators (who prey on the weak, the poor, the fatherless, the homeless, the undereducated, or the widowed). He is God. Why would he? Exactly!

Therefore, the answers to your deep-rooted soul questions (Psalm 42:7 and Psalm 150:6) are all found in Jesus Christ due to the truths that the Holy Spirit declare unto the churches (who are comprised of the people) by the Holy Scriptures, the word of God.

Zechariah 4:6, Genesis 1:2, Revelation 1:18, Revelation 2:7, and 2 Corinthians 3:17-18. The Holy Spirit declares that He is the living LORD God Almighty who made you, me, the heavens, the earth, and all things therein. It is the LORD God alone who has time, space, and matter in His mighty hands (Genesis 1:1-2:7, John 1:1-18, and Psalm 90:1-97:12).

We are wise to lift up our hands to heaven, praise the LORD and worship Him daily, and give God thanks daily for all of our lives, liberty (liberty is redemption by the shed blood of Jesus Christ), and blessings (blessings are God’s grace towards us). If we do not have liberty or freedom at this time, we are equally wise to pray and continue in His goodness to praise and worship Him who is coming back to judge the quick (the living) and the dead with His righteousness and truth (the word of God is truth; John 17:17). Do not quit praying. Do not stop praising and worshipping the living God. Remember that you are not alone (2 Chronicles 32:7-8, 2 Kings 6:16, and John 16:31-32). God is with you (Isaiah 41:10).

Why else would we argue with the living God? This is the vanity of humanity in which Solomon spoke of when He wrote in Ecclesiastes 3:1-6:12.

For we know that the eyes of the LORD are upon the faithful (Psalm 115:12, Psalm 33:18, Psalm 14:2, Proverbs 15:3, Proverbs 15:11, 2 Chronicles 7:14-16, and Revelation 19:11-13) of the land who choose to believe in the risen Saviour Jesus Christ, trust in God, and give Him thanks.

We know that He is God alone. Therefore, we are not afraid to get up, stand up, arise in Jesus Christ and acknowledge His presence on the inside of us.

We are His people and we are bold enough to stand up without fear and serve our Maker who is the Rock (Deuteronomy 32:1-4, 2 Samuel 22:1-4, Psalm 18:1-3, and Psalm 27:1-14). We are not afraid to worship His holy name, praise the beauty of His glory, obey without complaining, and follow Him while not making excuses (Psalm 101:6).

Thus, acknowledging, obeying, and walking in the fear of the LORD Jesus Christ - is how we trust, serve, and follow Him on a daily basis.

Obedience, acknowledgement, and walking by faith produces in our lives health, stronger bones, healing, hope worth believing in, strength to get up, confidence to stand up, courage to arise in Jesus Christ, and a new found voice/roar to begin speaking the word of God (the most powerful things you could ever say over your own life, over anyone else’s life, against any life storm, against any enemy, against any mountain, against any addiction, against any financial debt/issue, and against any setback/missed opportunity).

Now is your time roar! So, get up and speak. Stand up and speak. Arise and speak. The enemy wants you to shut up, put up, sit down, and walk away. No, we will not! We are the children of Light; the children of the Highest God. And if God be for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31 and Psalm 118:6)?

Acknowledging the LORD and walking upright in Him means that we have united with Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit because He has forgiven us, washed us, cleansed us, redeemed us, delivered us, and healed us.

How do we acknowledge the LORD and begin walking upright in Him? By believing, thinking, speaking, acting, and behaving in the LORD. We believe, think, speak, act, and behave ourselves with the right attitude by faith. The answer is found in faith. Now it is time for you to begin speaking your blessings, increase, prosperity, and mercy from the LORD over your life. Remember that faith is believing and speaking (Romans 4:16-17 and 2 Corinthians 4:13-14).

Walking with Jesus Christ is how we walk upright in newness of spirit while listening to Him speaking unto us (the Holy Spirit is the Holy One who is speaking unto us; Matthew 11:15, Matthew 13:9, Revelation 2:7, Revelation 3:13, and Revelation 3:19-22).

Acknowledging the LORD means we have respect unto the word of God, are not offended by the cross of Jesus Christ, are not ashamed of the gospel message of love and grace unto the world (Psalm 94:1-23 and 2 Timothy 1:1-18), and we are not afraid to: believe in God, think upon Him, call upon His name, speak of Him/speak His words of life, act honest and faithful according to His word, and behave with the right attitude of gratitude towards Him while we do our best to live peacefully with others around us (even though it is not always a reality to live peaceful with the dark, evil, and the wicked). This is why faith is the key to acknowledging God in our lives and walking upright in Jesus Christ via consistent faithful discipline. Faith, faithfulness, and discipline (FFD).

Obedience in truth is a living/breathing relationship with Almighty God the Father through the love of Jesus Christ via the empowerment of the Holy Spirit within you. Obedience is made possible when a saved born again child of the living God (a child of light: that’s you by the way) hears the voice of God, and does what God is telling you to do in order to build up your life and bless you.

Obedience is walking with the LORD in newness of spirit (since you are saved and born again by the grace of Jesus Christ; Ephesians 2:1-22), and He is making your life better so that you are a beacon of hope, a light that actively resists darkness (Isaiah 60:1 and John 1:1-18), and a blessing unto others around you.

Yes, God really does want to bless you with His wisdom, intelligence, common sense, understanding, worth and value, strength and confidence, skills and talents, and make you successful and rich so that you are a powerful spiritual and financial influence in the lives of His people that He plants near you.

The planting of the LORD (in His house) and His people at His right places of grace are designed by Him to help you, grow you, increase you, bless you, and vice versa: for you to be a blessing unto them as well (Proverbs 27:17 and Proverbs 16:24).

The wise cooperate with the Holy Spirit: Be the conduit of grace that God intended you to be so that His grace, mercy, goodness, healing, and hope can flow through you unto others that He wants to save, redeem, heal, and bless (in the same way He has done for you)!

Therefore, obedience is alignment, agreement, and cooperation with the LORD God who is with you, who is for you, and who loves you. God is smiling down on you waiting to come into your heart and be the guiding light of your life to make you who are supposed to be.

Why? Because there are multitudes of souls on the line right now that are crying out to God: Just bring me to Jesus. Help me LORD. I need you in my heart, in my life, and near me right now LORD. God, I am lost without you. Save me Jesus! God has called and chosen you to be His agent of change and beacon of hope to save souls, heal His people, and work His miracles on His behalf. You are anointed and gifted to do of His good works.

Now it is time for you to pray, align your life with God, and seek Him that is near you (Jeremiah 1:1-24). You are His minister of glory for this time. Souls and people are waiting for you to show up. Trust in the LORD and He will prepare you, guide you, and use you in His kingdom work (the ministry).

The question is this: are you ready and willing to trust God enough to save, heal, restore, fill, use, help, strengthen, bless, success, prosper, and build your life up to the level of spiritual/financial/intellectual influence where you soar with the eagles (Isaiah 40) and you take your rightful place of honor and glory in the hands of God the Father and made us to be His kings and priests (Revelation 1:6 and Revelation 5:10).

Lead me by thy Spirit as I hope, trust in, and follow you LORD. Reveal to me who I am in you. Shew me whether I am a priest or a king in you LORD Jesus Christ.

LORD, I know and understand that I am either a priest or a king in your house, in your church, in my home, and in your kingdom. LORD, in your word, you teach me at Ephesians 4:11-12 that priests are the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers who are called, chosen, anointed, and ordained by the living God to preach, teach, prophesy, build and strengthen His church(s), edify the church, and to give God’s people His vision.

Kings provide the provision for God’s vision. Kings are kingdom builders who work with and cooperate with the priests of the LORD. Kings who align with God, agree with the LORD, and cooperate with the Holy Spirit are empowered to live the happy, healthy, and prosperous life that fulfills via diligent working.

Priests are shepherds, leaders, and visionaries who hear the voice of the Spirit of God and cast vision (teaching) unto His people, the sheep of His pasture. Priests are God’s gatekeepers. Kings are the sheep who hear the voice the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ (John 10:1-42). Priests stay in one place and kings do not wander away. Kings and priests work together not against each other (Psalm 133).

Priests and kings are to lay roots together. There will be disagreement, but that is okay. There will be times when priests and kings don’t necessarily agree one hundred percent on everything, but that is not an excuse to argue, become angry, get bitter, lash out against, or become divided.

Priests and kings are not hirelings who run away when they see the wolves coming, or at the first sight of trouble or storms. Unity goes forward with the LORD. Disunity makes the devil happy.

God has ordained us to get up, stand up, arise in Christ, and fight the enemy with faith, prayer, and faithfulness in our homes, marriages, families, church, schools, places of work, and communities - together. Only united together can we as God’s chosen kings and priests (instruments of faith, hope, light, and future to the peoples around the world who are searching for truth, screaming for Jesus Christ, and running towards the Light of God)!

We must never let the sun go down on anger, bitterness, or even
