"Let everyone give all their praise and thanks to the Lord! Here's why--he's better than anyone could ever imagine. Yes, he's always loving and kind, and his faithful love never ends. So go ahead -- let everyone know it! Tell the world how he broke through and delivered you from the power of darkness and has gathered us together from all over the world. He has set us free to be his very own! Some of us once wandered in the wilderness like desert nomads, with no true direction or dwelling place. Starving, thirsting, staggering, we became desperate and filled with despair. Then we cried out, 'Lord, help us! Rescue us!' And he did! ~ Psalm 107:1-6, The Passion Translation ***
