Found: God's Will (A Sermon)

God's awoken a desire in me to follow Him without question. To devote my life to Him, whatever kind of life it is. To God be the glory!

I told a friend about this, and they recommended this sermon (the link is at the bottom of this post). It's really cleared some things up for me, and I highly recommend reading it. It's an hour-long sermon, so it's some pretty heavy reading, but it's worth it if you have the patience!

I encourage you to read it... I pray it will help you as much as it's helped me!

Brought to tears

Sometimes you care so deeply about a human being, it brings you to tears. That just happened last night. What a strange night it was. My mother and I were up at midnight, talking out some recent events. The night ended in a prayer.

Such a feeling is truly something new. I've never been so worried or missed someone so much to the point of true, uncontrollable tears. But I know it's in God's hands.

Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

There's power in prayer. Thank Jesus for that. Sometimes it's the only comfort available.

Praise God, Lord of heaven and earth!

So what's this whole God thing about?

Jesus, God's only son, came to earth and lived a perfect, sinless life. He took responsibility for your sins and died on a cross so that you may appear blameless in God's sight and have eternal life in heaven. After three days in the tomb, Jesus rose from the dead and later went up to heaven to be with his Father.

What does this mean for you? It means you can have eternal life in heaven with God! You, like every other human being on earth, are a sinner. That's why Jesus died for you; so that you can be with him! God loves you like the perfect father loves his son and He wants you to be with Him!"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23)
