You tend to have a lot of empathy for others, I see a big heart. You feel drawn to care for others. It will fulfill your desire to be serving a higher purpose. You also have many spiritual questions about God. I also see a church with open doors. The church has open doors... C'mon down to this altar." However, if done one on one... people want to criticize? Since I'm a house churcher... individual prophesies are quite common. |
I wouldn't. Anyone can say those words and make a hit in a good sized group. Psychics do that all the time
