The Perfect Time Is Today!

"You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross." Colossians 2:13-14



Today is the day that you can give your life to Christ! You don't have to wait for tomorrow. You don't have to wait for next Easter or next Sunday to be saved. God is sitting on his throne waiting for you with open arms to accept his love that is, and has always been present. That emptiness that you feel, which seems to be 'unfillable' is a void that he is waiting to fill. These are the areas in our hearts that are only meant for him. Don't worry. He already knows about what you did last night, what you did last weekend, and he is fully aware of what you are going to do today. He created you, so God knows your heart(and this is not just an excuse for you to keep doing what you're doing). It simply shows you that it is not worth waiting to become "perfect" in order to make the decision to live for him. Or that you need to wait for the "perfect" time to live right. You don't have to wait for that horrible tragedy to happen in your life for you to run to God. The perfect time is now..yup! Even on a simple, beautiful summer day like this one. In the midst of whatever you are doing-work, relaxing, traveling, etc. You can decide to give your life over to Christ RIGHT NOW. Living for Christ means that you are seeking to be like him on the daily, while seeking God's help in the process through his word, prayer, seeking his presence through daily devotion to him, and fellowship with others on the same path. So, you don't have to wait until you are "ready," which may end up being too late if it is left up to you or the enemy who tries to put that thought in your head to wait. 

The time is now to really just open up your heart to the Lord and accept his forgiveness. That's what it is there for. Don't allow the enemy, Satan, to deceive you and make you think you have too much to be forgiven for or that you are too far gone in sin. God is more powerful than ANY sin that you've ever committed..seriously, ANY. His love, grace, and forgiveness is for each and every one of us. Salvation is available for everyone..hell is a real place, but it was not made for you and I. Just a reminder..Jesus loves you. Ask for God's forgiveness, accept his beautiful son, Jesus, as your Lord and Savior and believe all of this wholeheartedly. And that is the first step to a new life..a new you. Ya know, the "new you" that you're always searching to discover and find.
