I. THIEF – What is yours, I will get it. These are the People who are envious. They will do whatever happens just to get it. By hook or by crook. They are the people who are not satisfied with what they have. Kleptomania.

Sick people lie on the Patient’s Bed. Intubated. They don’t know the Love of God. Imagine after a War and there are dead people everywhere, they don’t know the Love of God. W should share the Love of God, the Gospel to other people. First, to our Loved Ones.. Relatives.. Friends… etc. THE GREATES LOVE OF ALL., THE LOVE OF JESUS. He said, “…I LOVE YOU…AND I WILL DIE FOR YOU…
