Have you discovered the joy and peace of personally accepting Jesus' invitation to life? Perhaps you have believed in the existence of God and His Son and have even tried to live a good life, but have never consciously invited Him to be your Savior and Lord.  No matter who you are or what you have done, at this very moment, you too can make the decision of a lifetime.  Right now Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart.  He has already paid the penalty for your sin.  He loves you so much that he wants you to make the choice to receive His gift of love. He doesn’t force us. He is asking you, in the quiet of your heart, to put your trust in Him. 

God loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you.

God's Love: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16,).  "Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom You have sent" (John 17:3).  God wants you to know Him. 

Jesus Christ is the ultimate gift of God’s love for us. Because of sin we were cut off from God BUT because of his IMMENSE love for us he sent his beloved son. Jesus Christ, who was blameless, took on each and every sin that we have and ever will commit.  Jesus was beaten, tortured, died and rose again for YOU so that YOU could have eternal life. He loves YOU so! Do you believe this? It’s TRUE! Through believing in Him you can know God personally, and you will be forever His child…for eternity! “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me" (John 14:6). 

We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.  Would you like to accept Jesus' invitation to life? You can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith through prayer. Here is a suggested prayer, which can help you express your trust in Jesus, too:

Lord God, I come to you now. I know I am a sinner and I repent of my sins. I believe in Jesus Christ, who took my place and punishment--who was crucified for me, died for me, and was buried and rose again for me. I receive the gift of salvation in His name; turning from my sin I commit myself to follow Him. Thank you God for the gift of eternal life.  In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Did you know that RIGHT now heaven is rejoicing over YOU?!! Welcome to the Kingdom!

Luke 15:7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

 I am so excited to share the GOOD NEWS about what God says we are in him in my next blog! You are His special possession! Hope you can join us!

Do you struggle with feelings of worthlessness? Do you feel like you are not worth God’s love and forgiveness? Friend--you are not alone. Many other people, including myself,  have dealt with these very same feelings.

Ladies, I am hear to tell you first and foremost that God DOES hear our prayers and he that He knows what you are going to pray before you even do it! I praise God that His shining, redemptive, and powerful truth came in for me in such amazing ways and that it continues to do so.

2 Corinthians 6:18
“I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” (NIV)

Romans 8:14-16
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. (NIV)

Proverbs 3:3
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. 

1 John 4:19 
We love because He first loved us.

John 3:16
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.

When you receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord you are signed, sealed and officially His. God’s word is our authority and there is power in coming in agreement with it.BELIEVE GOD when he says HE LOVES YOU. BELIEVE GOD when he says he FORGIVES YOU. BELIEVE GOD when he says YOU ARE HIS. 

 God promises that His love for us is irrevocable. Do you believe this? If not, I implore you to read His word, believe, and receive the amazing gift of God’s truth and promises for you.  Oh, how he loves you!
