God is waiting for you!

Last Sunday, the guest speaker at church spoke about our relationship with God.
Because oh that great message, I wanted to post things I have witnessed and learned about God. I hope others, like you, might add to this.

1. God is waiting for us to turn to Him.
At 17 years old, I was a very blessed person. My family loved me. I had always had anything I wanted. School came easy. I excelled in sports. I had many great friends. I was healthy. But, despite all of this I had grown depressed. I began to hate the world and to hate being a human being. I could see no real purpose in life. In the midst of this I was invited to church by a friend. I went... out of desperation.
What I got was a message from Jesus that exposed the sin in my own heart and life. When the speaker asked if anyone needed to pray to receive the pardon of Jesus, I nervously went to the front. There I confessed the hatred in my heart and asked God to help me to love people. He answered that prayer and gave me a new heart and a new purpose for my life.
Now I can tell you that God is waiting for you. Will you recognize your own sinfulness and cry out to the one who died for us, the one who was killed for our sins, who rose again from the dead to offer us new life?

John 3:16-17 

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
