Dear Soul,
Today, the road may have seemed steep,
and you feel alone.
Someone you trust has disappointed you.
God sees your tears... He feels
your pain.
He longs to comfort you,
for He is a friend who
sticks closer than a brother.
God
loves you so much
that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die in your place.
He will forgive you for every sin you have ever committed,
(past, present and future)
if you are willing to turn from them.
Maybe you feel,
"He won't forgive
my sins
for they are too great,
you don't know the sins I've committed,
I strayed too far from His love."
I understand your thoughts, dear soul.
I too, felt unworthy,
undeserving of His love.
At the foot of the cross I plead for mercy,
but such is the grace of our God.
The
Scriptures says,
"...I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance."
Mark 2:17(KJV)
Soul, that includes you and I.
No matter how deep into the pit you've fallen,
God's grace is deeper still.
The dirty, despondant souls He came to save.
He'll reach
out His hand to hold yours!
With every
heart bowed,
slip your hand if you can say with me,
"I am a sinner! I've been a sinner all of my life,
and I want to be forgiven."
Maybe you are
an alcholic.
You've mistreated your wife.
You regret the mistakes of your past
and you want to be forgiven.
God bless you, brother!
Are there any other sinners here tonight?
Maybe some of you are like that fallen
sinner,
she was a prostitute, the talk of the town.
With a veil
around her face she came to Jesus,
knowing He was the One who could save her.
With tears streaming down her face
she wet His feet with
her tears,
and wiped them with her hair.
He said to
her, "your sins which are many are forgiven."
Soul, can He say that of you tonight?
Many of you have tears
streaming down your face
as you can relate to her.
Maybe you're not a prostitude of your body,
but of your time...
your money... your faith.
You've given yourself to unworthy cause,
or sold yourself for a lesser value for whatever the reason.
You're as guilty as she was,
but the same Jesus that has forgiven
her
will forgive you
tonight.
One day you
will stand before the Lord,
transparent in His presence.
The Books of
your life will be open, to be judged.
Each thought... each word... every motive of your heart
will be revealed in His illuminating light.
Slip up your hand if you can say with me,
"I've tried it on my own, I made a mess out of my life.
I want to be forgiven!"
God sees your
hand, dear soul.
Sure you made your share of mistakes, but He still loves you!
Whenever I
pass a cemetary, I remember my time will come.
It might be the end of the road
for some of you pretty soon.
Maybe you
thought about giving your life to Christ,
but put it off for one
reason or another.
Today is the day of Salvation, harden not your heart.
The
Scriptures 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."
-John 3:16
"And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life
will be cast into the Lake
of Fire."
Tonight you
can make peace with God,
you can have your sins forgiven
and begin a personal relationship with Him
by praying a prayer such as the following:
"O God, I am a sinner.
I am sorry for my sins.
Please forgive me.
I want to turn from my sin.
I receive Jesus Christ as my Savior;
I confess Him as my Lord.
From now on, I want to follow Him.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
If you have decided to trust Jesus Christ as your
Savior
after reading this invitation, please let us
know
we would love to hear from you. (Your first
name is sufficient.)
