Paraphrase of John 1:12-13 from The Jesus Storybook BibleFor anyone who says yes to Jesus. For anyone who believes what Jesus said. For anyone who will just reach out to take it. Then God will give them this gift:
To be born into a whole new Life. To be who they really are. Who God always made them to be — Their own true selves — God’s dear Child.

Proverbs 24:17-20Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.Don’t fret because of evildoers;
don’t envy the wicked.For evil people have no future;
the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
