You are probably wondering by now what you have gotten yourself into. But
you are not here by mistake. God cares for you and has led you here
whether you realize it or not.
I just wanted to tell you that Jesus is real. He is not just a little baby that lies in a
manger, or someone who was killed on a cross. He is the actual Son of God
who is alive and wants to live in your heart and be a part of your everyday life.
It is He who can take away the stress and replace it with joy.
I'm not talking about happiness. That's a temporary thing that is based
on whatever is happening at the moment. I'm talking about joy; that
feeling deep down that no matter what happens, You know that God
is a Great God and He's in control.
All you need to do is admit that you cannot do it all yourself and turn
your life over to Him. He is waiting with loving, open, arms.
"For God so loved you, that He gave His only Son,
that if you believe in Him, you will not perish,
but have everlasting life."
John 3:16 personalized for you!

If you want to learn more, here's some more scriptures
(in the King James Version):
Romans 3:10
"As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one."
Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
Romans 5:12
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;
and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."
Romans 5:8
"But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us."
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 10:13
"For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:9-10
"That if thou shalt confess with thine mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation."
Ephesians 2:8-9
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the
gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

That last scripture is very important. It says that we can't get to heaven
by our good works. If we could, then why did Jesus have to come
to earth and die? He just wasted His time and went through all that pain and
suffering for nothing.
So how do we get to heaven then? By confessing our sins and asking Jesus
to come into our heart. There's no specific prayer to say, either .
This one's gotta come from the heart.
So do it now. Don't put it off. The Bible says that we are not guaranteed
tomorrow. Just listen to the news. How many of the people who died
knew that they were going to die? They probably all had plans for what
they were going to do the rest of the day, tomorrow, or next week.
So don't delay. Jesus is waiting to hear from you.
