For God so loved the world that he gave us his only begotten son. He came to save that which was lost. If you haven't asked Jesus to be a part of your life each and everyday, and you aren't living for him...then you're are lost. You must be born again the word says You must admit to yourself, and confess to him, that you've sinned. You must commit yourself to serving him. You need to pray daily and walk with him. He said he would never leave us nor forsake us. My friend I can assure you that's true. See life isn't about being religious or what church you belong to...It's about serving him...and leading others to him. It is my prayer if you don't know him that you will take time to seek the Father and his will. You might say well I don't believe all that junk. I've been down the same road as you...I said the same things once. I can assure you that if you don't take time to talk to him down here...you won't spend eternity with him up there. Don't miss out on God's eternal retirement plan...it's still the best there is. May God bless you!
