We are so loved! We are loved! Yes, we are! It is such a great way to start the day, just knowing this.

Okay, so you are wondering what the heck I am talking about right?

I just look around and see all the beauty that surrounds me and say, “WOW”! You see He is amazing and truly loves me and you.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen.1:1 NLT)

My friends He loves us so much that He gave us a way to have life everlasting. How? It isn’t a secret. It has been told for over 2000 years. You just have to have ears to hear. Are you ready? I mean really ready? Okay then, now listen closely——

“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.” (John 3:16 NIV)

Do you know the name of that Son? Jesus is His name. That’s right, Jesus. In Hebrew it is Yeshua. It is said that every knee will bow and every tongue will proclaim the name of Jesus. (Philippians 2:10)

This should make you stand up and shout for joy at just this realization.

Oh, you have a question. What is it? You want to know where He is now. Not an issue. Let me start from the beginning.

God brought His son into this world in the form of man to experience what we do. He was born of a virgin, later accused by the Jews to be spreading lies, crucified, and finally raised from the dead. He now sits with the Father in heaven, but not before He sent the Holy Spirit to be our comforter. When you accept what Jesus did for you He then lives within you. That is it in a nutshell.

So what do you think? What? You say it cannot be that easy. My friends it is. God is a God of simplicity. All you need to do is trust and believe and ask forgiveness. Do you understand?

So now that you understand are you ready to ask Him into your life?

Good. Just speak to Him like you are talking to me and repent of your sins. Give a heartfelt confession. Jesus will hear you and your new life as a new creation will start. Off with the old and on with the new.

Well my friends I hope I have set you on a journey that will be full of amazing surprises and miracles. It won’t be a bed of roses, but with Jesus always at your side you will never be alone. Remember to live in the moment and not the past or future, but always keep Jesus in the forefront.
