  Bratz, Helen Clara Rejoice with me as I, Helen Bratz, declare my faith in Jesus Christ my Savior. I am certain that I will live eternally in Heaven. This is possible not because I have earned or deserved it, but because Jesus died in my place. I live with Him now because He lived, suffered and died on my behalf. It is my deepest wish that all of you may know and love Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Also, that through your faith you may join me in the joy of that great inheritance which I now enjoy at my Savior's side.
