Welcome to Bethlehem

Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near; leth the wicked forsake His way, and the unrighteous man His thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

For My thoughts are are not your tho9ughts, either are your ways My ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:6-9 (English Standard Version – ESV)
