TRUTH
We heard some bad news this week and I am urged to write about it.
I declare a blessing to all who read this to understand this message in its fullness. I hope that you would listen out of respect of my character, knowing that this isn't a light hearted declaration but I am moved by compassion for everyone that I know.
Please, think on this:
About 6months ago, Roy, a man who had a heavy heart, walked past our church one Sunday morning and decided to go inside with the hope that his burdens might be lifted. He was in great need in all areas of life. The church helped him out with some of his physical needs.
Yesterday we heard that Roy had passed away...
This seriously impacted me. I reflected on every time I met Roy. I only new him the last 6months of his life. I had opportunity to speak to him about God, but I didn't, I suppose I wanted a better suited time. And I did not want to offend him in any way.
When we heard that he died I was devastated. If I could turn back time to ask him about his faith I would, but unfortunately I had missed the opportunities I had and I am not sure where he finds himself today. Did he accept the eternal price that was paid for him? We aren't sure. We thought he might have but we didn't make sure. I do not want to find myself in this place again. I do not want to be regretful to anyone I might have known in my life. I love you all so much, you are so important to me. Your destiny matters, your eternal destination matters so much. This letter is a substitute for every time I have neglected to ask any of you about this.
I want you to have clarity and understand the love of God. How He made a way for us to live in connection with Him through His Son, Jesus who died for our sins. We can be in relationship with God while we live here on earth. If you would like to digest this statement, please, contact me, come visit us, email, phone, skype, whatever it takes, let us talk through your doubts, fears and areas you struggle to believe. Or find someone you trust and ask them about it.
I am moved to shout it out on the roof tops. If you chose that the full message of Jesus is not the truth, your eternal destiny will be that of pain and despair, for ever and ever and ever....Eternity will never end.
But for those who have accepted the offering Gods son made to reconnect us to the Father and by doing that it secures our inheritance, our eternity will be forever one of joy, love and peace. A place of rest. A place where God is present in His fullness.
Here in this life, there are never ending benefits to being connected with the One whom created you, so it does not only play a part after death, but seeing that my heart is stirred in the area of the afterlife, I choose to focuss on this in this letter.
If you don't usually think on these things, I urge you to seek the truth today. Please, if you are not convinced, reach out to God and ask Him to reveal Himself to you, He will.
For those of you who would like to grow in your faith, go to the church, that you feel called to and stay there, plant yourself there and grow there, don't leave because of offence. Start learning how to truely love others. The church is filled with people and people are not easy to deal with, but let's start learning how to live in harmony alongside our differences, after all that is what real grown ups do. God wants to reveal Himself to you. He loves you, so much. It is your choice, you have the liberty to choose for Him or against Him but there is no middle ground. And you never know when might be the last time you have the gift of that choice.
God loves you, He created you. He wants you to be in relationship with Him. If you want that, invite Jesus into your life right now. Just ask Him. Jesus, come and live in me. It is that simple. Then start following Him. He will lead you.
I love you all, I pray Gods blessing over you and your family. Over your spiritual freedom and growth. May the grace of God increase in you.
