This is Max Lakato. Maybe your past isn't much to brag about. Maybe you've seen evil and you have to make a choice.

Do you rise above the past and make a difference or do you remain controlled by the past and make excuses?

Many choose the convalescent homes of the heart. Healthy body, sharp minds but retired dreams.

Lean closely and you'll hear if only. The white flag of the heart. Healthy body, sharp minds, but retired dreams. Ling closely, and you'll hear,

if only. The white flag of the heart, if only. Maybe you've used those words. Maybe you have every right to use them. Perhaps you were hearing the 10 count before you even got into the ring.

Can I show you where to turn? Go to John's Gospel and read Jesus' words in

John 3.6. Human life comes from human parents, but spiritual life comes from one spirit. Your parents

have given you genes, but God gives you grace. This is Max Locato. God is willing to give you what your family didn't.
