Life Is Painful Sometimes…
By Jen Barrick
I know life can be confusing at times. It can be unfair and painful. But God loves everything about you! He even knows how many hairs are on your head. He created you and He takes great delight in you. There is nothing you can do to make Him love you any more or any less than He does right now. He loved you so much that He gave His only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and pay the penalty for your sins.
God’s Word says, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
God doesn’t force us to love Him. If He did, it wouldn’t be real love. He gives us a choice. God longs to have a personal, intimate, love relationship with you. He wants to be your Healer, Deliverer, Shield and Defense, Strong Tower, and Best Friend. Once you pray and invite Him into your heart and life, His Spirit lives in you and fills you with His power and strength.
This life is not all there is. One day, I will live in heaven for all eternity with my Lord and Savior where there is no more pain and tears. I can’t wait! But I want you to know for sure that you will be in heaven too!
If you don’t remember a time when you prayed and asked Jesus to be your Savior, I’m hoping you will pray out loud and mean in your heart today...
Dear God,
I know I’m not perfect. I need You to forgive me of my sins and save me. I believe that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to earth to see for me. I want His pain to count for me. I believe tray you raised Jesus from the dead. I believe that you have power over death. Come into my heart and give me new life. I want to live forever with You in heaven. And until you take me home to Heaven, I want You to be my friend on earth. Help me to follow You in everything I say and do. Thank You for saving me. Amen!
