A Better Place

You know we all have people in our lives that are special to us.  Maybe it's your children, friends, family, or the love of your life.  But how much time do we really spend with them?  How often do we really talk to them?  Some of them live with us, but some don't.  Some live close, but some are far away.  How many times have we lost a loved one and say to ourselves, "When's the last time I talked to them?"  "When's the last time I saw them?"  And most importantly, how many times do we ask ourselves, "I wonder if they knew the Lord".

Life is so busy, and I think we're all guilty of getting so wrapped up in our own selves that often we neglect those who mean the most to us.  And then when they leave this world, it's too late to tell them how much they meant to us.  It's too late to tell them about Jesus.  After all, that's our purpose here on this earth is to tell others about our Lord and Savior.  We are here to spread God's word.

So I urge you today, pick up that phone, write that email.  Just take a minute to reach out to those you love.  Check on them, see how they're doing, tell them you love them.  

And to that stranger you pass on the street, that person who serves you food and drink, that friend you've met online...be kind to them.  Wish them a good day.  And by all means, tell them about your friend and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Let's make this world a better place.

                  "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother."
Proverbs 18:24

He Came For You

There's so many times that we feel unworthy, unloved...but I want you to know today that the Lord Jesus loves you!  God sent His only Son to die for you because He loves you so much!  He blesses us with His favor - which defined means "an act of kindness beyond what is due".  The Lord has mercy on us - He has compassion for us - He forgives us.  It doesn't matter what we do or have done, He loves us!  Remember...in the Lord Jesus' eyes, we're beautiful!  

He gave up His riches in Heaven to be born a helpless, newborn baby.  He came here to save you from your sins...because He loves you!  He wants you to spend eternity with Him.  If you haven't done so, I urge you today to please accept God's precious gift to you - His Son, Jesus Christ.

He came for you.

                    "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:16
