Did you know that you can have a personal relationship with the living, loving God of the Universe? Friend, I'm not
talking about "religion" here. I am talking about a God who is so interested in you--well, in fact, He is crazy about
you! And He waits patiently to hear from you, keeping an eye on you and an extended arm out to you through His
Son, Jesus Christ. He longs to fellowship with you; in fact that's why He created you. That's the God I am talking
about. He is ever present, never failing, all knowing and yet still in love with you.
So you ask, "How can I have that kind of a relationship with God?" It is so simple that even a little child can have a
relationship with Him. You may be familiar with the phrase "childlike faith" and that is all that is required to develop
the relationship that begins the moment that you receive the greatest gift of all.
It kind of started here when sin entered into the picture in the 'Garden of Eden,' man (Adam & Eve) could no
longer fellowship with God because they made a choice to sin by eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil, man's first rebellious act. This caused a huge gap between man and his Creator. (That's a very
abbreviated edition.)
Well, God devised a plan that would once again bridge that gap between humanity and Himself by sending His Son
Jesus, Who was God in the flesh. John 1:14 says, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have
seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." He was God in the flesh, Who
came to bring us life everlasting with Himself. You probably know the story of the life of Jesus (most of us have
heard it somewhere throughout our lifetime), God in the flesh Who "For our sake He made Him to be sin Who
knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Corinthians 5:21. We celebrate the
resurrection every year because it was the greatest proof that God is Who He says He is and does what He says He
is going to do. On that cruel cross, Jesus, God's Son, took on every sin that ever was committed and ever will be
committed and bore that to reconcile us to the Father. John 14:6 "Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the
life. No one can come to the Father except through Me. "But the best news is that on the third day, after being
crucified, Jesus dying and being buried, He rose again! How amazing is that and it was done just so that you could
be reinstated with Father God! Now is that love or what!
So, here is where I extend the invitation to you. Would you like to know the Father? If your answer is yes, here is a
simple prayer that you can pray--that God will hear--to make a lifelong connection to the Father.
Lord, I come to You with my hands and heart wide open to You. I admit that I am in need of a savior and
that I have not walked according to Your word. Father, forgive my sins and show me the way to You through
Jesus Christ, Who died for me just so I could have fellowship with You. Thank you that I can now live forever
in Your presence because through Jesus' shed blood, You have cleansed me from all my unrighteousness (sin).
Now show me how to live for You and I ask the Holy Spirit to be my teacher, comforter and friend as we begin
this new life in Christ together. In Jesus' name, Amen!
Congratulations, dear one! You have begun the journey of a lifetime--well, even forever. I can guarantee that you
will never regret your decision to surrender your heart to Jesus. If you need reinforcement and encouragement,
drop me a line or an email and I will do my best to walk with you shoulder to shoulder as a new creation in Christ!
2 Corinthians 5:17 "What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the
same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun!"
You can let me know if you don't have a Bible, as this will be your guide. It is your personalized love letter from
Abba Father and you will need one to help you get to know Him! He desires to spend time with you daily.
Let me pray for you right now, "Lord, take this fresh commitment and protect this dear one from the enemy of
their soul, satan, who would love to steal their new found faith in You. Help them to lean upon Your Holy
Spirit so they gain much wisdom in this new walk and learn more and more about who You are and how
much You love them. Guide and direct their pathway and may their life grow to glorify You, in Jesus' name,
Amen.
