Bookmarks come in handy when you are working on a document that contains several pages. You can add several bookmarks so that you can identify these bookmarks easily for future reference.

Step 5 -- Go-to another bookmark

Hello, just a friendly reminder to whoever you are reading this comment right now, that Jesus loves you 💛

(Romans 3:23 NIV)
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

yet...

(Romans 5:7‭-‬8 NIV)
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

(John 3:16 NIV)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Your situation might be hard to explain right now, you don't need to fight alone because you are never alone, trust Jesus and he will fight for you, Dear Stranger, God loves you. 💛💓 keep praying and never give up.
