This is the neatest story I have ever heard. It makes me cry every time, just realizing, that there is a God who loves me more than my parents (which is saying a lot) ;) and who loved me so much that He sent His one and ONLY son, to die on a cross in our place, so that we can have a second chance, and be forgiven. And just the thought of how, He has a mansion in Heaven, and is preparing a place for me there with Him, it makes me cry every time. I don't deserve to be forgiven, I don't deserve that powerful love that burns like fire... yet He gives it. He gives it as freely as you give your friend a birthday gift. That's how much He loves you. No matter what you've done, you have another chance to ask for forgiveness. He will accept you, if you believe, that you truly are a sinner, and you believe that Jesus came and died on a cross for you, then you will be saved from hell, and eternal damnation. If you want to accept God into your heart and your life, here's a prayer you can pray. Now, please understand, that the prayer doesn't really do much. It's the fact that you are telling God, that you want Him in your life, and that you want to follow Him.
God, I thank You for loving me, I believe Jesus came to show your love, die on a cross for my sin, and was raised from the dead.
I trust Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I commit my life completely to You.
Thank you for Your forgiveness and free gift of eternal life.
Amen.
I really hope that you have chosen this life. It's the BEST path that you could ever take! I promise you won't regret your decision. Note: You might run into struggles as you try to live your life for God, so here's a little saying I tell myself a lot. It's from God's Not Dead 2
"I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world, than, stand with the world and be judged by God."
I just started reading a book called 'Words That Hurt, Words That Heal', by Carole Mayhall. It really got me thinking on my words. Are my words like a fountain of life, or are they like a babbling brook, running on the surface, rushing helter-skelter over the rocks? I'm a fast talker, and sometimes I don't really stop and think about what my words might do to others before I say them. "The written word is a powerful thing, you've got to be careful with it." -Mo Fulchart from "Inkheart". I know that as a writer, I was given a gift of being able to put words on paper and create a story, another world for people to delve into. But I often use this gift for more entertainment than for what God would want me to do. I don't write bad things, but they aren't necessarily christian things. I often have doubts about my writing when I think about that. Anyways, I should use this gift that God has given me for His glory, and to use it to introduce ot...
As I promise, here's my newest addition to the giant stack of books on my dresser. (No, I don't have a bookshelf. Long story) ;D Sorry it's not a very good picture. The tree outside my window was making it extra difficult. -_- ;P But I'm soooooo happy that I have it in paper back now. :D I'm reading it for a third time. XD Sorry for the short post, but I got stuff to do. :D ~Jessie
I can't believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! It feels like this Christmas season has flown by so quickly! This coming year is going to be a new start for me, and I want to make it a good one. I turn eighteen on January 1st, (cue the panic) so not only is it a new year, it's a new age for me. A new year, a new age, and hopefully a new mindset. To be honest, whenever I heard the word 'mindset', I always kinda shut my brain down. 'Yeah, change your mindset and you can change your lifestyle, and all that stuff.' But now that things have gotten busy for me and I've gotten older, I need a new mindset. I need a new lifestyle. I'm going to be an adult, I need to work harder on the important things in life such as my relationships with friends, family and the Lord, my home life, my school work, and my health. I want to make this year better than 2019. I want to fill it with memories with friends and family, and grow closer to the Lord. ...
