It’s Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!  What a glorious day for us to celebrate.  Jesus is alive.  He dies and He rose again and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.  From there He will judge the living and the dead.  Oh friends, if you love Jesus with all your heart, you know you have an eternal award in store for you and you have nothing to fear because our God is with you and He watches over you day and night.  No matter what you are going through, you will never be alone.  People! If you don’t know Jesus and you desire to finally have a peace in your heart and that wonderful assurance of knowing you will go to heaven when you die, and you don’t have to ever be afraid of death, then all you have to do is accept Him into your heart.  Pray and ask Him to come into your life and ask Him to forgive your sins and thank Him for dying for you, so that you can have His free grace and eternal life with Him.
He wants to be in your life but He won’t force His way in you.  He has the power to make you do what He wants, but God would rather you choose Him for yourself and desire to follow Him.  He gives us freewill.  I sure hope that if you don’t already know Him, that you would begin to and ask Him into your life.  I don’t want to see anyone go to hell.  Hell if a very real place and I cannot begin to imagine spending eternity there.  I can’t imagine an eternity in heaven either but the thing is it’s far greater than anything that I can comprehend.
I have been facing many medical problems for the past 10 years and over the years those problems got worse. I was actually just in the hospital again and in intensive care for a day, then the step down unit because they wanted to watch me closely.  I have had pain that has brought me to tears and biting into the blanket so I don’t scream.  I have not bounced back as quickly as I usually do, and I’m still very weak.  I am bummed that I won’t be able to get to go to church but I still will watch a beautiful service with my amazing boyfriend and we will praise God together.  I share this because through all the pain I have endured and every hardship and trial that I’ve had throughout my life, that is nothing compared to how horrible hell will be.  I have screamed at doctors before because of pain and if you ever had a needle in your spine and the doctor struck the main nerve accidentally, you would  scream too.  It was then that I asked the doctor to just shoot me because the pain was just brutal.  I later told my mom that I want to continue to share the love of Jesus Christ because I don’t want anyone to go to hell.  I don’t know what brutal is compared to hell itself.  
Jesus suffered an unimaginable death for us and He was beaten and whipped until He was unrecognizable.  He did that because He loves you and He doesn’t want to see you go to hell either.  If you have never accepted Jesus, there’s no better time to do so then right now.  All you have to do is pray to Him from your heart and ask Him into your life.
It can be a prayer like this:
Heavenly Father, thank You for taking my punishment to the cross and dying for me.  I know that I am a sinner and I don’t deserve Your grace but I thank You for giving it freely.  I’m sorry for the sins that I have done and I ask for Your forgiveness.  Forgive me Father.  Please come into my heart and lead my life.  Take my life and make into who You want me to be p.  Thank You for Your amazing love.  Lord I love You and I for now on want to follow You and be with You.  In Jesus’ name, Amrn.

If you prayed that prayer, welcome to the family of God!  I now encourage you to tell a Christian friend and let them guide you through the next step.  If you don’t have one, that’s okay.  I encourage you to find a Christian church to attend and get a Bible.  If you cannot afford one, let me know and I will freely send you one.  Here’s the link to my church and it has resources on there to help you, along with the email address to the staff and they will gladly help you on your new journey with Christ.  www.crosspointcrcweb.org
Please feel free to message me as well if you have any questions or concerns.  I am more than willing to help you in any way I can.  God bless you dearly.
