Easy Quiz

Here's a simple quiz I'd like you to take. It's quick & easy because it's just one question:



Do you ever feel lost?
If you ansered yes, I'll bet the farm that Jesus Christ is not in your life. Here's another question: How would you like to feel better, alot better?
How would you like to feel like you belong? That you are accepted, & loved just the way you are-right now, right at this moment? Wherever you are right now as you read this, whomever you are with, whatever you are doing, no matter how 'bad' it is. You, my friend, ARE LOVED. How do I know that? Because it's simply the truth.

Maybe right now in your life no one loves & accepts you. Or maybe some do and some don't. Whatever it is, it does not mattter because JESUS LOVES YOU

He always has.


Perhaps you've been exposed to Jesus at some point in your life, but not anymore. Maybe you rejected Him or you thought He rejected you. Maybe someone told you that you are only accepted if you did or didn't live in a certain way. I'm here to tell you-nope. Either they lied or were (& still are) misinformed but it is NOT true. Jesus Christ loves you; He ALWAYS loves you. No matter what you say or don't say or do - it's always there.

Friend, have you been feeling as though you're missing something in your life or that there's a void? Maybe you feel that there is something that you can't get passed & wish you could. Well, you're right. That nagging feeling you've been having is right. You see that nagging feeling isn't you at all. It's the Holy Spirit trying to tell you that it's just not working doing it your way. The only way, ONLY WAY to feel at true peace is through Jesus Christ, period. But that's a good thing. Because when Jesus is in your life, your life gets better!

Sometimes at this point, the enemy comes in and we hear his voice inside our heads saying things like:
-"It's too late for me" LIE
-"I'm not worth it" LIE
-"I won't be able to measure up to how I'm supposed to live"-LIE
-"God doesn't care about me" BIG LIE
-"What about what other people may say" LIE
-Fill in the blank with youre personal one ALSO LIE!

But don't just take my word for it. Just start reading the Bible especially the New Testament. It's all there in black & white. Here's just a tiny bit of what the Bible says to the above lies.

-"It's too late for me "
"I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance". (Luke 15:7)

-"I'm not worth it"
"Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." (Matthew 10:29-31)

-"I won't be able to measure up to how I'm supposed to live"
"I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world." (John 16:33)

"God doesn't care about me "
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life." (John 3:16)

"What about what other people may say ?"
"It does not concern me iin the least that I be judged by you or any human.... I am not conscious of anything against me, ... the one who judges me is the Lord." (1 Corinthians 4:3,4)


Friend, bottom line is It's Never too late. You Are important to God. You are supremely Important to Him. And furthermore with God, you are Never Never Never alone. Hey, if you feel you can't measure up. well that's good because that's His specialty! You are right about that but not measuring up doesn't scare Him away; doesn't anger Him away. Understand, we are referred to as His lost sheep & God is referred to as the Good Shephard just for that reason. It's OK to slip up, even to slip up big! Because all He wants is for you to always seek Him & to try to live as good as you can. If you mess up, just seek Him even more, ask for forgiveness with all your heart. No matter what it is, you will be forgiven. But seeking Him is the Key; He's ALWAYS seeking you.

Remember my question above? Was you're answer yes, that you sometimes feel lost? Well with Jesus You Are Found! You never have to feel lost again. He'll find you if you let Him. And have no fear to fail Him because "He's looking for a few bad men! "
God Bless You!
Praise God!
