There are many people among us without any hope. Some are living on the streets, dealing with drugs, alcohol, prostitution, depression, anxiety, feeling rejected, suicidal, and unloved.

I want every person to know that there is a God and He loves each and everyone of us. Sure He doesn’t like our sinful nature, but, He loves us. How do I know?

Because He saved me!

You see, I was very worldly and lived my life partying, drinking, dining out excessively, living with men, taking vacations, gambling, shopping, and getting into the new age movement. You know the whole meditation, chakras, tarot card readings and crystals lifestyle.

But God sent me a dream and not long afterwards, I started changing. I threw away or sold  everything that dwelt with the new age movement and found myself watching Christian teachings on YouTube while taking lots of notes. It was around this time I began repenting of my sins. I purchased a Bible started reading it and was blown away. My world did a complete 360 degree turn.

This is how I know God loves everyone regardless of what they’ve done. In fact, the Lord Jesus emphasizes this when the Pharisees asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” The scriptures read;

Matthew 9:12,13 – When Jesus heard, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. But Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

I was always looking for something or someone to fulfill me. I was broken living in a broken world. But when my eyes became opened I realized all I truly needed was God and the Son of God, the Lord Christ Jesus.

If you find yourself giving up on life, have no hope, feel empty inside, find yourself going from one thing to the next, or just tired of the worldly lifestyle, turn to the Lord Jesus Christ.

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

God’s Son left His heavenly abode, took on flesh by being born of a virgin, preached the message to, “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand,” and was crucified on the tree for the sins of the world and to usher in the New covenant. He willing gave up His life to save the world.

The Bible tells us that we all sin and none of us do what is right, none of us are good. The Lord Jesus Christ was the only person to walk on this earth who was completely sinless. And He took on our sins so we could have a relationship with Him if we choose to. The scriptures found in Isaiah read;

Isaiah 52:6,7 – Therefore My people shall know My name; Therefore they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks: Behold, it is I. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, your God reigns.

Isaiah 52:13,15 – Behold, My servant shall deal prudently; He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high. Just as many were astonished at you, so His visage was marred more than any man, and His form more than the Sons of men; So shall He sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at Him; For what had not been told them they shall see, and what they had not heard they shall consider.

Isaiah 53:5 – But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid up on Him the iniquity of us all.

Get on your knees, tell Jesus you believe He is the Son of God who was crucified for our sins. Tell Him your a sinner, and begin repenting of your sin. And don’t condense those sins, tell Him every sin you can think of or remember. Everytime you stole something, everytime you told a lie, everytime you had sex outside of marriage, adultery, everytime you got drunk, partied, gambled or everytime you put something or someone before God. It’s at this point you should get baptized. This should only be done by someone who truly believes in the Lord Jesus and follows the scriptures. Get a good study Bible (The Amplified Study Bible is excellent) and read the scriptures starting in Matthew and read through all the way through to Revelation. Then read it again and again. Do this before ever going to a Church. This way you can discern between a Godly pastor and a false one.

Once your baptized the Holy Spirit will guide and teach you as you continue to read God’s Word.
