sorry ima little late! havent had da time to update...but Merry Christmas everyone! i wanna let everyone know that Christmas IS NOT about presents! its about the birth of our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST! because He loves us SO much that he died for us! imagine that! Jesus loves u SOOOOO much that He endured a horible death so that u could spend eternity with Him in Heaven! how awesome is that? so the Christmas spirit is to be loving and caring toward one another...even ur enemies right? well yea, but its also to celebrate Jesus' birth! the King of Kings was born in a manger, He wasnt born in a huge palace made out of gold! He was born in a manger! He is just like us! He knows EXACTLY how we feel, and what were thinking! He knows! because He lived on earth! He knows what we have to deal with, what we [esp. teenagers] have to endure at school or home or work or even church! and u know the best thing? HE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU! thats the reason i love Christmas so much! because even if my whole family isnt with me...HE is there. He's closer than the air i breathe! deng...thats pretty close huh? here lemme put this in another way...
God is SO big! even the whole universe cannot contain Him! pretty big huh! now look at it from His perspective...we are smaller than small...the smallest thing u can think of...even though we are not perfect and we make mistakes and we turn away from God and His love...He still loves us! "His love endures FOREVER!" - Psalms 106:1 meaning it will NEVER end! so just imagine it like this...pretend God is as big as a human, and we are as big as ants...would u give ur life for one ant? i dont think so! right? so just imagine that! Jesus gave His life for us, His love is undescribable!
i dont know about u guys, but i love being a Christian...esp. this past Christmas...this is now my favorite holiday, but not because i get presents...because it was the day that my Lord and Savior was born...Jesus is my salvation, my strength, my purpose...since ive become stronger in my relatioship with God, ive been so much happier!
lemme just say that having a realtionship with Jesus has been nothing but positive! yes there are trials, but He's there ALWAYS to help get u through them. now i have PEACE OF MIND, NEVER CEASING JOY, and ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN. who wouldnt want to be happy all the time? who doesnt wanna wake up every morning with a smile on their face, excited about the day? im telling ya, Jesus is the best. He's "the way the truth and the life, and no man can come to the Father [God] except through Him." -John 14:6.
wanna know your purpose?...WHAT IS MISSING IN MY LIFE?
WE EACH HAVE A GOD SHAPED HOLE IN OUR HEARTS THAT ONLY HE CAN FILL. POSSESSIONS, SUCCESS, MONEY, NOR RELIGION CAN EVER FILL THAT VOID.
you can never truely understand God's love until u realize how sinful u are. another word for sin or sinful, is just that we make mistakes, were not perfect. we dont do anything right. and until we realize that we are NOTHING without God we can never truely understand His love for us.
You can have Jesus as a best friend if u want it. God loves us so much that He gave us a free will, to choose Him or to walk away from Him. Do u want to have peace of mind, a joyful life, a happy heart, and experience the unfailing love of Jesus Christ?Its really easy! and guess what? it doesnt cost a penny! IT IS FREE! just say this pray outloud...
"Dear Lord, i recognize that i am not perfect. i know i am a sinner. i thank you for your son Jesus Christ, who died for me on the cross of calvery. please Lord forgive me for all of my sins, my mistakes. cleanse my heart Lord and make me a new creation. i now accept u as my Lord and Savior. in Jesus name i pray, Amen."
if u prayed this prayer just now, and truely mean it with all your heart, God has forgiven you of all your mistakes ur sins, and u are a new creation. u now have a personal realtionship with Jesus Christ. find a good bible based church and read ur bible and pray all the time. if u have said this prayer, PLEASE talk to me, lemme know so i can pray for u. and u are welcome to attend my church. :o]
May God bless u and keep you...
GoD bLEsS!
