Draw close to God and he will draw close to you . JAMES 4;8


That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah,
You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
PSALM 83;18

Hi Krystal,
You are my hope, O LORD God; You are my trust from my youth. Psalm 71:9

We still wrestle with the same problems that preoccupied Plato and Aristotale centuries ago: Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? We search for answers, but sometimes we get so caught up in platitudes, religion and philosophy, psychology etc. we miss the simple truth of the gospel.

but the Cross bodily stands against the confusion of our world, a beacon of hope in the midst of darkness and doubt and fear. In the Cross, Christ not only bridged the gap between God and us, but there we find the answers to life's most difficult questions. It is there we find out who we are..... our true identity; to those who have believed in Jesus Christ we are forgiven sinners who now belong to God. There we discover our true destiny; a glorious eternity with God in Heaven. There we discover our true purpose; to love God and serve Him and glorify His name.

Consider the cross. Never underestimate what Christ did for us on that Cross. By it our salvation was won and by it we live our lives-and through that our world can be transformed. What difference does the Cross make in your life???? If it is not making a difference, start there. Spend time considering your own life before His sinless life and the gift that He so lovingly offers you. Forget religion. Remember the Cross.

I will be praying for you today. For the very reason that you need help and are seeking Him, I pray with Paul, that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. May God richly bless you and make Himself real to you, even today. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Blessid be the name of the lord.

there is mutch wisdome in your words for all to follow

Ever since I can remember religion has been shoved down my throat. I've grown up with my very strict Seventh Day Adventist grandparents, and my mom drifted away, and had her "time of trial" and sent us off with our grandparents on the weekends to attend church, and "turn out for the better" but it really did the opposite for me. It made me HATE him, and find every excuse not to have anything to do with religion all together. I've had so many bad things happen, and barely any good, and It's hard to believe something with so much power loves you "SO MUCH" but lets you hurt so bad. The sick part is, I want so badly to believe in God, but there is no PROOF I need real PROOF scientific, anything. I'm only 19 years old, so I am still a bit thick headed, but I just can't handle life anymore without having faith in something, this world is awful, and cruel, and just down right bad. I pray to God, yell, talk, but my head won't let me believe he's really there. I want to be the "lamb" who can just fall so easily into belief, and have no doubts. I want to live with him eternally, and in our mansions, and not feel pain, and have no sin! I want all of that, but It scares me to death it really will never happen, and my whole life I was just foolish. I've asked him into my heart, I've read the bible, I've looked hours upon hours, reading things about God, and everything to do with him thinking maybe something will just click. I want him in my life, but I can't let myself, what do I do? I'm not perfect, not even a little bit, and I can never be perfect, but that's why I need him. He is working through me really hard I believe....why else would I spend countless hours trying NOT to believe? I need help.

blessid be the name of the lord.

I pray on this day peace that overcomes all understanding be upon you.

your thoughts fears screams are felt and understood reading your post i herd my self in a lot of what you wrote when i was younger.

many times the fear within ourselves in regards to our own mind not wanting to draw towards something that has bad experiences attached to them can rip our minds and our souls to shreds . One key is to go to god and ask him to separate the two. you will have to face those shreads in your heart and forgive those responsible and ask god to fill and mend those wounds. Believe me he will.

Forget what everyone else has told you aboughy what is true and untrue .

Go to god through his son Jesus Christ and pray then read the life and teachings of Christ and receive the truth from the source the bible..He will not let you down.

It is a process it will take time

one thing i see is that satin is fighting hard to keep you confused that means god has great plans for you and satin does not want gods will to be done through you.

Remember he loves you bad things will happen but he will be with you god loves his children and he loves you .


have a blessed day go in peace may his hand of guidance be with you amen.

Amen
