Do you ever feel as if no one cares,

that if you died today no one would remember you?

Would people remember your smile, your face, your abilities, your passion?

Would people remember who you are?

Do you feel like your world is crashing down on you,

and that everything seems to be going wrong?

You lose your boyfriend/girlfriend, your parents get a divorce,

you fail a major test at school, you lose your best friend,

or your loved one passes away.

If you feel that way,

there is Someone who feels the pain of hurt and suffering that you're feeling.

He was mocked, rejected, shunned,

beaten, despised and eventually He died.

That man was Jesus.

He didn't go through all that because of misfortune

or because He did something despicable.

He went through it for you. Yes you.

He had the choice to bail out and even become King of His people.

He could have had anything that He wanted,

yet He chose to be beaten, tortured, mocked and humiliated for you.

He loves you so much!

The greatest love that anyone can show you is to give their life for you;

that is what Jesus did.

He doesn't care about how popular you are, your looks, your intelligence

or even if you like to listen to polka music in your pajamas!

He loves you for who you are and wouldn't trade you for the world.

I can't stress enough how much He cares,

and wants to have a relationship with you.

As John 3:16 says,

"For God so loved the world,

that he gave his only begotten Son,

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,

but have everlasting life."

You can have that relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ now,

by unlocking your heart's door and letting Him in.

It's that easy. The decision is yours.

If you would like to give Him that chance

ask God to forgive you of your wrong doings

and ask Him to enter into your life.

You can begin a personal relationship with Him

by praying from your heart a prayer such as the following:

"Lord Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner.

I'm sorry for my sins.

I am tired of sinning and feeling unloved.

I believe that you died and rose again on the third day.

Please come into my life.

Help me to start off new with you.

Thank you for giving me that chance.

In Jesus' name, Amen."

If you have received the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior

after reading this invitation, please let us know.

We would love to hear from you. Your first name is sufficient.

We'll leave the light on for you...
