Gospel
You might be reading this and be saying "whatever", but do you know that nothing in life is a coincident? This might as well be Gods way of telling you he still loves you and cares about you and he is inviting you to choose and accept him into your heart. You don't have to fulfill any requirements and you don't have to pass any test, just accept him as you are and believe in his Name and you will be saved. Not only from hell, but also from the shame, the failure, the sickness, addiction, and every situation that is weighing you down. To add to that, he will give you a New Hope and a new future which grows brighter by the day.
Jesus himself states in the Word of God, the Bible:
"Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls" Matthew 11:28,29.
That passage is a personal invitation to you to 'come' to Jesus with all your burdens and worries. It mean you can come as you are, even if you are a prostitute, drug addict, gangster, an abused person, a divorced individual, a sick person, guilt ridden individual, whatever your situation, he is telling you to come and he will give you the rest from all your flaws, your weakness and your crisis. All you have to do is dare to believe and take the step of faith. God will catch you before you fall.
Not only will he give you rest, but he will teach you. He will teach how to get out of debt, depression, failure, hurt, abuse, addiction and any other situation, just be willing to learn from him. And when you are out of debt, depression, failure, abuse, addiction and any other situations, you can go and help others out of the same thing. So this is not only about you but also about the hundreds of people you are destined to touch their lives one way or the other in the future with your experience and the knowledge you get from choosing to walk with God.
I am not saying believing in Jesus is an instant solution. No. But it is 'the real solution', instant solutions are always temporary. Believing Jesus is a continuous choice you have to make daily, but it will pay off. He will always stand by you and he will always transform the bad things in your life to good, starting with you. God has more at stake concerning you than you do.
Right now, what I believe, God is telling you is:
"Come to me and I will give you rest. Learn from me and you will find rest for your soul"
If you want to answer that call today and are bold enough to dare to believe in Jesus, please pray this prayer with me:
Dear God, I come to you today in the name of your son Jesus. I come to you with my sins and my weaknesses (you can name your specific ones) because you said in your Word that I should come with my weariness and my burdens. Lord I am here. I believe Jesus died for my sins, and that he is the Son of God and that he has take my place that I might become right with you. Today, I accept Jesus into my heart and as my friend, Savior and Lord. Lord I pray you will teach me your ways under the guidance of the Holy Spirit that I might learn to understand your will and plan for my life and that you will transform my life for the glory of your name. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Congratulations! You have made the most important decision you can ever make in your life and I am sure that from here on, all might not be a smooth road, but God will always see you through. One his team you can never lose.
To grow in the faith and understand the impact of the eternal decision you have made today, please endeavor to do the following:
1. Get the Holy Bible and read it as much as possible, daily
2. Pray everyday (in short just talk to God, tell him how you feel)
3. Find a Bible teaching church, which you can attend, for encouragement and spiritual support.
4. Ask in your Church about Baptism (of water and the Holy Spirit).
Remember no matter how you feel from now on, you are in right standing with God. Your past is in the past and God does expect you to be perfect, he just wants you to be willing. God's grace is not earned; it is a free gift. No matter what you've done, God's love and forgiveness is not a feeling it is a fact and it is not temporary, it is forever, so receive it and go out and make the best of yourself for the glory of God.
God bless you.
