tell you what I can do. One thing. Accept His Son. Accepting His Son, and He will love me for eternity!
This sounds like boasting to me, what I can do is a boast !!

You dont appear to understand the concept of grace where there is no boasting period..

eph 2:

8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

How in the world can something boast about something they had no choice in the matter ? How can someone created boast ? Could adam boast about being created like he had something to with it..can he say oh I accepted God, thats why he created me from dust ?

People who are in christ are created that way by Gods power..

2 cor 5:

17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

18And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

man cannot boast about Gods creative Glory..
