We don't have to convince GOD/JESUS; HE Knows exactly what is in us [John 1.3] [Colossians 1.16] and what our intentions are [Jeremiah 17.10] it is very easy to befriend JESUS [John 15.14] as long as, you receive HIM, revere HIM and follow HIS teachings; Denying yourself, dying for worldly pleasures; to Love, Forgive, Give and to teach others about HIM and HIS Salvation for those who are in Pain, Tears and in the hands of the Devil in darkness...Nothing like becoming and being Friend of GOD!!!! You too can, what all it takes is; simply a Decision and Determination to remain so!!!! Go for it my friend!!!!
