Choose You This Day Whom Ye Will Serve

After all you have been through, hearing that God loves you or has a plan for you or wants to save you may not be high on your list. You may even love God, but if you have not let him heal this wound, I hate to tell you are not receiving the fullness of his joy.

If you do not know God and profess Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, this post is for you. I am not a preacher. I don’t have a church. I am not even close to living perfect… but I am daily pressing for the mark of the high calling that is Christ Jesus. If the pain of your past has kept you from being saved, I want to thank you in advance for the next few minutes to offer you the best balm I know for every pain, scar and nightmare you have: God’s Plan for Salvation.

Nothing you ever do will remove you from the love of God. You can not earn it. You can not lose it. He just loves you because you are created in his image. With all of your hurts, all of your baggage, all of your unforgiveness, all of your anger, He loves you and wants to save you. From the treacherous life youwill lead apart from HIm. From the hurt you will cause people from things you haven’t dealt with. And most importantly, he wants to save your immortal soul.

Holding onto the sin of the one who hurt you is not making you better. The bible says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. And in His eyes, your unforgiveness and bitterness is equal to the molestation or rape you suffered. It’s tight but it’s right, because to God sin is sin. There are no capital offenses and misdemeanors. Only sin.

And sin separates us from God the Father. There is a price to be paid for sin and all of will pay it. “It is appointed unto man once to die, and after that, the judgment.” Do you know how you will be judged? Are you assured of your place in eternity?

The simple fact is God knows what happened to you and if you will let him into your heart you will find he has something extraordinary he wants to do with you, for you, to you and through you. Today, I promise you, He is waiting for you with open arms ready to receive you and save you, heal you and comfort you. When you accept Christ, your bills won’t miraculously be paid and your abuser is not going to be struck by a falling boulder, but God will brighten your heart. You will be open to receive the gifts he has wrapped in shiny paper and tied with great big bows sitting on shelves in heaven waiting for you. Gifts like Patience, Healing, Joy, Trust, Faith, Prosperity, Relationship, Forgiveness, Understanding and most of all Salvation.

It is closer than you think… nigh even in your mouth. If you will simply confess to the Lord that you are a sinner (that you have harbored wounds you would not let him reach, that you have turned your back on HIm) and profess belief that Jesus died and rose again to pay for the sins of man, then you will be born again. 2 Chronicles 7:14 reads “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Be healed… be whole. Find you a bible-teaching, bible-believing church and stay in His word.

God Bless!
