I knew nothing about Jesus other than He was one of the greatest prophets… But when she read that to me, John 1:1 and John 1:14, there was a sense of knowing imparted to me that tears started rolling down my cheeks.” —Lily Meschi “I was a new person. I knew that I was blessed, I was chosen, I was accepted, and I was loved by the Creator of this universe.” —Lily Meschi “I don’t know why this was part of my story… I trust that [God] had something planned out that He will unfold for me in future years. ” —Lily Meschi   Verses:  John 1:1 John 1:14 Jeremiah 29:11 James 1:2—4   Links:  God Hears Her website: https://www.godhearsher.org/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc  Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Iran Alive Ministries: https://iranalive.org/ Elisa’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/ Eryn’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/   MB01EVPJVJRTG8L
