I have
a special little one there. After I share about the situation I will
share how to know God personally so you can share with others as well.
I prayed often for a child, and God has given me peace that despite my had some child somewhere child been born, I would have had the chance. Tomychildinheaven.blogspot.com is written to her but for others also, to encourage them.
I'm
thankful for so much on Earth of course. However, all the things that I
have are nothing compared to the wonderful things available in Heaven.
And, good relationships are ones you want to keep in heaven oh, so they
can truly last forever, right?
And
thankfully, God has a way of making bad things good when people trust
him. 2nd Corinthians 5:17 says if anyone is in Christ he is a new
creature. Old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.
So, anyone who does bad things will be changed by God working in their
hearts. Even if God has to drag them Kicking and screaming sometimes.

Most people aren't really horrible like some we see in the news. However, we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God.
You can read my previous blogs at prayercallamerica.blogspot.com
on various topics. (Also see one with a few different ones at questfortruthradio.blogspot.com) I talk about things like forgiveness and love and
peace and how we need to come together as a country and pray and
everything else. Here however it is different.
I am thankful for God's salvation and that I have a relationship with him that begin the moment I called on him to save me.
I
always tried to be really well behaved and usually was. Even when I was
little. However, I was not perfect. I didn't deserve God's perfect
heaven because no sin can be there.
So, God
made a way for me to get to heaven. It takes heart knowledge, not just
head knowledge. It takes complete trust in Jesus Christ to save you from
your sins. That means trusting that he died to take the punishment for
your sins and rose from the dead. And, believing that what he did was
all that was needed.
So, we can't get to heaven
on our own. Salvation is by grace through faith, and that not of
ourselves as the gift of God. Not of Works lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9.
Receiving that gift is as easy as ABC.
Admit
you're a sinner. That just means that you're not perfect, that you've
lied or disobeyed rules or been mean to someone or just wanted your own
way selfishly sometimes. We've all been like that because of our sin
nature.
Believe that Jesus Christ, God in
flesh, died to take punishment for your sins and rose from the dead. He
did all that was necessary to get you to heaven.
Call
on Jesus to save you from your sins and to make you new inside so he
can transform you into being more Christ life, more loving and
compassionate and everything else like God wants us to be.
You
can pray a simple prayer like this. "Dear Lord Jesus, I know I'm a
sinner. I know I can't reach your perfect heaven myself because of my
sin. But I know you made a way for me to get to heaven. I believe you
died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Today Lord Jesus I
trust you to save me from my sins. I call on you with all my heart to
forgive me and come live in me and make me new inside so I can get to
heaven and so I can have life forever with you here on Earth too. In
Jesus name, thank you for hearing my prayer saving my soul and coming
into my heart, amen."
You can go to https://godlife.com/en/gospel/read
and learn more about God's love and even talk to someone who will help
as an online missionary. Tell them of the decision you made if you made
one. They have wonderful lessons that will help you grow in the Lord
also.
And especially share that site and the
gospel with others so they can hear the gospel and Trust Jesus to save
them also. Pray for them first because there is a great spiritual battle
going on. We know God will be the winner in the end though.
With God living in a believer, that is the key to having life more abundantly here on Earth. So many who rely on cell phones at such a young age need to hear and I love trying to use anything I can, however God calls me, to share His love. After all, He came that we might have life and life more abundantly. John 10:10. That doesn't just mean in Heaven. It means right here, living with a peace and freedom from anxiety and fear and so much else that grips today's young people.
So, go forth and spread the word that Jesus saves from all that when you trust Him and call on Him by faith to save you from your sin - agreeing with God that your sin deserves a price to be paid and that Jesus paid the price for you.
Because, so many are seeking true love - and God's love is truly unconditional when we come to Him, and He won't just let us languish but will work in us to make us better. Phil. 1:6 says He who hath begun a good work in you will be faithful to perform it.
