What if I told you that if you give your whole heart and soul to one man, he could wash away all the bad things you've done and negative in your life forever? It's completely free of charge and there is nothing that you have to pay! Well that isn't entirely true...you do have to give your time and an open mind. Would you think I was lying? Would you think that I was losing my mind?
Well none of those things are true. If you give your life to Christ and surrender control of your heart and the path your life is taking, you can have a wonderful, rich and righteous life. You only have to do a few things...First of all you must accept Christ as your Lord and Savior and start that personal relationship with God. Romans 4:4-5 "You can't save yourself. There's nothing you can do in terms of deeds to bridge the gap between you and God. You can't earn God's salvation." John 14:6 "You can receive Jesus Christ through faith. Faith is trusting in what Jesus has done for you. Faith also involves repentance, which is to willingly turn away from sin." Next you need to repent and allow God to wash away all your sins. He knows you from the inside out and he will forgive you for any past transgressions you may have. This all takes blind faith. You cannot officially see what you are giving him or accepting from him, but you need to belive with all your heart that God can help you to light a good path for you and your life. Psalm 110:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." The word of the gospel (reading the bible) is your guide and praying. You don't have to earn any of this. You simply must agree that you believe that in blind faith you take God as your savior and trust in him that he will answer your hearts will and your prayers in leading a morally good and godlly life.
None of this comes easily or quickly. Some things will come rather fast, but God has his own plan and timeline for everything and everyone. So just because he doesn't answer, doesn't mean he doesn't care. God gives you the things you need in life, not always the things we want or desire. You must also let go of worldly gods and ideals. If you let God into your heart you should no longer worry about what the world thinks of you. You should worry about being a good person. You should worry about keeping your word to those that you promise it to. You can be independent as long as you understand that nobody can do anything on their own. If that were true, why would anyone get married or actually seek God? Independence is good if you need to pay bills and keep a roof over your head, but don't push people away just because you believe that you can do it all on your own. You need a family to support and pray for you. This doesn't always mean your blood family that you grew up knowing, sometimes this means your church family. My biggest support group is my church family and they are a WONDERFUL bunch of people. I am so blessed that God lead me to such a caring group of people who help to guide me on my journey and seeking a deeper relationship with God.
Now I am not giving anyone a free pass for anything. If this is something that you need in your life then please ask questions. There is so much more to know and find out about accepting God into your life and living a life that is truly lit by him. This will require work on your part and a big life change. But you can't sit back and keep doing the same things and expect different results right? You need to change things and if you ask God to help he will. He will show you a whole new world that you never knew even existed. It's a beautiful world and everything can be healed, not super quickly, but it has the possiblity of being healed and making life wonderful.
John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Ephesians 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Romans 1:17 "And Jesus said unto them ... , "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to younder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you."
