I thank God for my gift ~



If we could personally sit down and talk about the things in life that really matter,

I would share with you how Jesus has changed my life.
Now please note... I am not talking about religion.
Religion is the devil's substitute for a real relationship with God.
Besides, if it were possible to work our way to heaven by
being good, then Jesus died needlessly. But that is not the case.....

God made you, He loves you and He desires for you to know Him intimately.

But how on earth does one enter into a relationship with God?
Simply by talking to God in prayer.
You have to come to the end of yourself. You have to realize your need for Him.
You have to understand the fact that you just can't do it on your own,
and you need to see that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you!
He died so that all who accept His free gift of salvation will not only go to heaven
when they die, but they can live a happy and fulfilled life in the here and now.
It's simply telling God that you're through running your own life and that you need Him!


I'll tell you this.... God is faithful and He doesn't want you to be confused about this.
He wants to clearly reveal to you the truth.
And the truth is in Jesus, as it says in the book of John...... Jesus is
the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to God the Father, but through Him.

I encourage you to carefully consider what I have written here.
Take a hard look at Jesus and what the Bible has to say about Him.
And remember, it's not about religion, it's not about being good or a long list of do's and don'ts.
It's about whether or not you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior,
accepting His free gift of salvation for you.
It's the most important decision you can make in your entire life,
because this is what you were created for ... fellowship with God Himself!


It's all about Jesus and His love for ...... you.



John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son
that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish
but have everlasting life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him, might be saved.

Thank you to my friend Elin Criswell from www.TheCountrySoaper.com for letting me use her beautiful words. I could not have said it better!!
