WHo is jesus?
Jesus came so that you might have life, and have it to the full.
Jesus did not come to make you boring, take away your fun, and plague you with guilt.
Look all you want. You’re simply not going to find the life you were made for outside of the one who made you for LIFE.
You may have tried and failed to be the Lord of your own life.
You may have tried and failed to be the savior of the world. You may have tried and failed to find happiness your own way.
Try Jesus. Not only can He point you to that “something more” you’ve always been looking for—He IS that something more. He IS joy, love, peace, and eternal life.
Why live without that?
I want to invite you to sit for a minute and imagine Jesus looking at you from the cross with great love.
Let Him look at you.
Zoom in on His eyes. What are they telling you?
He’s there for you. He died for you. If you were the only person to ever exist, He’d have done it all—being born, coming, dying, rising—just for you. That’s how much He loves you.
Rest in that for a minute—and then pray this prayer:
Lord Jesus,
You are the love that I was born to find.
You are here, offering ME Your heart.
And asking for mine in return.
You have given me the freedom to say no.
I use my freedom to say yes.
I surrender all I am to You.
I renounce satan.
Sin.
The spirit of despair.
And the idea that I am unloveable.
I forgive others, and I forgive myself
of my worst sin.
And I ask you to forgive me and to forgive
those who have hurt me.
You are Lord of the Universe.
Be Lord of my heart.
I say yes to You.
Amen.
