I liked reading the Father's love letter. How can God be my father? Is that the same as being saved?

I want God to love me. Is that possible or is it too late?

Dear sister

God is love and He sent His one and only Son to die for you to give you everlasting life. In order to be saved you need to pray a simple prayer to accept Jesus into your heart.

There are a lot of helpful posts regarding getting saved.

God loves you and wants you to spend eternity in heaven with Him. Make the decision today to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and savior. Here's how simple it is.

1. Come to Him just as you are (don't wait until you feel "good enough")
2. Admit your need (I am a sinner)
3. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent)
4. Believe in your heart and mind that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died on the cross for you and was raised back to life (accept Him as the only way to God)
5. Talk to Jesus and invite Him to come into your heart and life and save you from your sins (receive Him as personal savior)

Here's what to pray:
"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am sinful and in need of Your forgiveness. I repent of my sinful lifestyle and I want to turn from it and follow You. I believe that You died to pay the penalty for my sins and that You rose from the grave. I invite You to come into my heart and become my Lord and Savior. I ask this in Your name. Amen."

He loves you and is waiting for you to accept Him.

I hope this will help you sister. I look forward to hearing that you have become a born again Christian.

If you can visit live chat today I hope to be able to talk to you there. Feel free to contact me if you need any more help.

God bless :rainbow: :rose:

I have experienced rejection all of my life and I am frightened that God has already rejected me.
You say that God loves me. How can he love me when I am so unloveable? I certainly do not feel good enough for God to love me.
I have read a lot of the posts and they make it sound so 'easy' and yet how can it be so easy when I am so bad?

It is true sister Jesus loves you. You may think you are unloveable but He knows you. He knows everything. He loved you before you born. While we were still sinners, He died for us.
Romans 5.
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

There have been a lot of people who did really bad things before they accepted Jesus. He knocks at the door of your heart. He is waiting to come in.

2Corinthians 5.17

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[a] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

You see, when you invite Jesus into your life you confess your sins and He forgives and forgets. His mercies are new every day.

You become a new creation.

I pray that your spiritual eyes and ears will be open to see and hear the truth that Jesus is the way the truth and the life and no-one comes to the Father except through the Son. John.14.6

John3.16

16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

Maybe we could talk in the live chatroom.

If you were the only person on earth Jesus would still have died for you.

He suffered and took all our punishment

Isaiah 53.3

He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.

8 By oppression [a] and judgment he was taken away.
And who can speak of his descendants?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was stricken. [b]

9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes [c] his life a guilt offering,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.

I need Jesus to help me each day.

Psalm 139 is a good one to read. It tells you how He knit you together in your mother's womb. It talks about how He knows so much about you.

God bless :rainbow: :rose:

I'm sorry but I feel so hopeless that I don't know what to do.

Does God love me so much that 'if you were the only person on earth Jesus would still have died for you'?

I'm not worth that.

I am sorry you feel that way. God loves you so very much that He sent His one and only Son to die an awful death so you could have everlasting life.
You are worth it. He says so.

You may not believe it but He does.

I know I live by faith and not by sight.

God bless :rainbow: :rose:

Sadeyes, one of the most awesome things about the Bible is that it is God speaking to the corporate church and to each of us individually. Here are two New Testament scripture citations that are powerful testimonies of God's love for you individually:

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but shall have eternal life" (Jn 3:16)

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are numbered. So, don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." (Mt 10:29-30)

I suffered rejection in my life when I was young, rejection from my peers. And it hurt a lot; it was very painful. I used to honestly believe that if I died before my wife, she'd have to hire pallbearers to carry my body out of the funeral parlor. I sincerely doubted that six men could be found who cared enough about me to take part in my funeral.

But, God came into my life in a powerful way in 1983 and things began to change for the better. I've had lots of struggles since then, but the Lord has put a bunch of truly good Christian friends in my life. They are Jesus' hands and feet for me; they love me unconditionally (and I them).

We baptize adults in my church. Last night we had a baptismal service and one of the men, when our pastor put the microphone in front of him , broke into tears to the point where he couldn't speak. I know how he felt. Its an awesome thing when you truly feel God's love.

SLE

Thank you for your replies and for the time it has taken for you to write them.

I still don't know what to do, but I agree that it must be awesome to know God's love.

I really do not feel as though I have any worth anymore and it is hard to accept that God loves me when I dislike myself so much.

I feel very confused by everything.

I understand that one sister as I had a low self esteem years ago and did not feel worthy.

It took me years to know that I know that Jesus loves me deep in my heart. It was head knowledge only.

We are not worthy but through Jesus we are worthy.

Luke 7.
The Faith of the Centurion
1 When Jesus had finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion's servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, "This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue." 6 So Jesus went with them.
He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: "Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel." 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

He loves you with an everlasting love.

He offers us salvation and it is free we do not earn it.

Ephesians.2.
Made Alive in Christ
1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

God bless you :rainbow: :rose:

God loves you dearly.

Nothing can separate you from His love even your own opinion of yourself. He loves you. YOU

By grace you are perfected. Jesus paid the price for our imperfection.
That's how desperately God is in love with you. He did this so that He could be reunited with us .. you!

Jesus is the Way Truth and Life. As you pray to God recognise His loving sacrifice for you. Talk to God. He's waiting, ask for forgiveness and pray that the holy spirit will guide you to His loving arms so you can be in communion with God. Talking, Thanking and giving your all to God. You are so precious and valuable to Him. He is bursting to listen and shower your soul with love, acceptance and forgiveness for all, always.

God Bless you beautiful eyes

Lord,

Thank you for holding Sadeyes into your strong, protective hands.


Love in Christ
