I'm not perfect!

People are not perfect; which is why the Lord God gave His only Son, to die for us, so that He could forgive us for the times when we get it all wrong. We try our best; but we mess up. God knows this and loves us and forgives us, through His Son, Jesus. We will never get it right; and in our struggle to ‘get it right’ beat ourselves up about not having reaching our targets, obtaining our ambitions, become the person we want to be; sometimes we fail to keep hold of the hopes that we desire.

Not our fault

It is not our fault. We were all made perfect in God’s image; but sin enters into our lives each day and messes things up for us. Even in our present state, ‘as we are still sinners’, God still loves us and desires for us seek Him. We do not have to be ‘good’ before we can talk to God! He accepts us just as we are.

‘But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners’ (Romans 5:8).

Forgiveness

His desire is to forgive us for all that we do and have done. Seek Him through His Son, Jesus. He will forgive you and in term we can forgive others as He forgives us.

‘There is salvation in no one else! There is no other name in all of heaven for people to call on to save them’ (Acts 4:12).

Power to forgive

He also asks us to forgive; and gives us the strength and power to put aside our pride and hurt; and reach out to those people in our life who need our forgiveness. Reach out to Jesus and He will bless you with His love and forgiveness and in turn you will reach out to those who need your forgiveness; and in turn accept forgiveness from those who need to forgive you. What God did for us: forgiving us, we will be able to do for others. His love will heal and restore us.

‘For You were killed, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation..’ (Rev. 5:9).

An unemployed graduate (JESUS LOVES US)

An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket. All he had left was $10. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for death as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated as he could find no job, and nobody was ready to help him.
He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an old man and two little children came along and asked him to help them with food as they had not eaten for almost a week. He looked at them. They were so lean that he could see their bones coming out. Their eyes had gone into the socket.
With the last bit of compassion he had, he gave them the food. The old man and children prayed that God would bless and prosper him and then gave him a very old coin.
The young graduate said to them "you need the prayer more than I do".
With no money, no job, no food, the young graduate went under the bridge to rest and wait for death. As he was about to sleep, he saw an old newspaper on the ground. He picked it up, and suddenly he saw an advertisement for people with old coins to come to a certain address.
He decided to go there with the old coin the old man gave him. On getting to the place, he gave the proprietor the coin. The proprietor screamed, brought out a big book and showed the young graduate a photograph. This same old coin was worth 3 million dollars. The young graduate was overjoyed as the proprietor gave him a bank draft for 3 million dollars within an hour. He collected the Bank Draft and went in search of the old man and little children.
By the time he got to where he left them eating, they had gone. He asked the owner of the canteen if he knew them. He said no but they left a note for you. He quickly opened the note thinking it would lead him to find them.
This is what the note said: "You gave us your all and we have rewarded you back with the coin" Signed God the Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. 1 Kings 17:10-16; Matthew 11:28-30
Have you given all to Jesus Christ? If you haven't, do so today and he will surprise you.

Love of Jesus

Remember the time that you first fell in love with someone: a girlfriend, a boyfriend. Your every thought was about them, day and night. Your whole life revolved around pleasing them, living with them, being with them. You couldn’t bear to be apart from them. You even copied their emotions and ideals.

Putting Jesus first

You put them first in nearly everything; altering your life to revolve around theirs. You couldn’t live without them, wanting to be with them all the time. Especially so, if they lived hundreds or thousands of miles away! Your heart yearned for the time you would be together again.

Now, imagine this person is Jesus - get to know Him and love Him!

Perfect Love

Jesus offers you His perfect love. You can trust Him completely; He will never let you down or forsake you. He will return your love with His love; which is more than you can ever hope to love Him. He died for you, that is how much He loves you; doesn’t he deserve all you can give Him? Isn’t He worthy of all your love every day? Pray that He will allow you to feel His love and know it.

Scripture

PSALMS: 5: 3; 34: 1; 63: 6; 105: 4; 113: 3; 119: 62 ; 119: 147. 1 COR 10: 31; ROM 12: 1; COL 3: 23.

The blood of Jesus

Jesus' sacrifice, death and resurrection means that we now have a way of coming back to God; He has made it possible. Jesus is the gate through which we all must pass.
Jesus said: 'I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through Me' (John 14:6 NASB). Jesus freely gave His life for us to give us this choice. There is nothing we can do to earn salvation; it a gift from God. Freely given to those who choose to believe in the truth about His Son, Lord Jesus Christ.
To those who believe in who Jesus is; who believe in their heart that Jesus is the Son of God; and also profess with their mouth that He is their Lord. Accept His forgiveness and turn away (repent) of the sin in their life and chose to follow Jesus as Lord in their lives. Then God has promised that He will come and live in a relationship with them for eternity. 'We will come to him and make our home in them' (John 14: 23; NASB). That eternity starts now, today, because if you choose to accept Jesus, then today is the day of your salvation. 'Behold now is the acceptable time, behold now is the day of salvation' (2 Corinthians 6: 2; NASB).

Does it matter to me ?

This is YOUR choice; no one else can decide for you. The truth of the message of the Gospel has been told. It is up to you, personally, to accept it or reject it. It is so easy; it is not difficult, it is in your heart, (Deuteronomy 30: 11-14 ); but YOU must choose.

'The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart so that you can obey it' (Deut. 30:14 NLT).

The Lord God gave us a free will, we are not robots. We have a choice, to love HIm as He loves us; or to turn away from Him.
But when Jesus returns and we are judged - as in the court room - we can never claim that God is unjust.
It is usually our pride and fear that stops us from choosing Jesus; but that is false because God is a loving God who cares for us as a perfect Father. We can trust Him absolutely; and He has promised to lead us and guide us along the best pathway for our lives (Psalm 32:8); if we let Him.
He is waiting for us to come to Him. He cannot do anymore than He has already done. He died for us. The rest is up to you.
