       God will help you where you need help. It doesn't matter if you're struggling with an addiction or some significant engrossed problem; God has the ability to get you through that issue. Our world's systems are a nice try at best. But God is the only One who can forgive sins, and really help you through whatever it is. There is nothing to lose, at all, by knowing God. All there is, by knowing God, is gain. So, if you believe that you would like to have a personal relationship with God today, and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, then follow my lead in this simple prayer: God, I am a sinner. But today I understand that Jesus died for my sins, and He forgives me of everything wrong that I have ever done. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, and that on the third day He rose from the dead so that I might have a new life. And I, God, want to surrender my life to you now, so that you may be Lord of my life because, Father, you know what is best for me. Please, Father, come into my life, and start the transformation process, so that I become like you want me to be, so that I become pleasing to you. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

       If you will come into a personal relationship with God, He will give you eternal life, and a new life, starting today. He will forgive you of your sins, and eventually, as you seek to please Him and follow Him, he will give you, according to His will, the desires of your heart. God wants people to be at peace, to have joy, to be happy. Now, that's very counter to our society because our society teaches that obtaining things or people—whatever it be—that's what our society says will make you happy. But that's not reality. The truth of the matter is what will truly fulfill your life is being reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, knowing that your sins are forgiven, and that you are now in right standing with God in a personal relationship with Him. God will help you where you need help. It doesn't matter if you're struggling with an addiction or some significant engrossed problem; God has the ability to get you through that issue. Our world's systems are a nice try at best. But God is the only One who can forgive sins, and really help you through whatever it is. God isn't just wanting to save you from hell—though that is very important—God wants to be part of your life.

God Wants Everyone to Accept the Truth (TMF:418)

Peace to Live By: God Wants Everyone to Accept the Truth (TMF:418) - Daniel Litton

       God wants everyone to accept the truth, to accept Jesus' death on the cross as a payment for their sins. It may be today that you feel like there is no way that this God, whom I've talked about, could accept you because, after all, He is holy, perfect, and good, and you may feel that you are quite the opposite. But, you see, He doesn't save you based on your works. You can spend your whole life trying to do things to get God's attention, or make yourself feel good, but, in the end, it's not going to matter. All that matters, in reality, is whether or not a person is in right relationship with God. All that matters is whether you know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. You cannot earn God's favor. You can't bargain with God—you can't say, “God, if I do this for you, will you do this for me?” That's not the way it works. You can have much, much more than that. If you will come into a personal relationship with God, He will give you eternal life, and a new life, starting today. He will forgive you of your sins, and eventually, as you seek to please Him and follow Him, he will give you, according to His will, the desires of your heart.

Beatitudes #8 & 9- The Persecuted, Part 4 (TMF:417)

       Jesus said, though, that for people who are persecuted: “for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” You see, this life is temporal, and we as Christians are looking forward to the next. We will live with God forever in Heaven, and what happens now doesn’t even compare to the glory that will be revealed in us. The famous disciple Stephen knew this all too well when as he was martyred for bearing strong witness to the truth, which can be seen at the end of Acts chapter 7. Jesus also went as far as to say, “Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.” For living a life following Jesus—a life based in truth, we build up for ourselves rewards. And this is especially true when we are persecuted for being righteous. I believe God will give us Christians—not only now but also when we get to Heaven—the desires of our hearts. People I think often presume that there wont be too much to Heaven, but really it’s the exact opposite. And if you’re not a Christian today, you can become one and get in on God’s gracious generosity. For many of you who don’t believe, think about how much God gives you now, and think about how much more he will give to those who are his own children, both now and even more so in the future!

       Jesus also guaranteed that people who are against us will say false things about us. I think many of us have experienced the persecution of false accusations in our lives, whether it was in grade school, within in your family, or even perhaps it is currently going on for you in your workplace. You stand for right things—for truth—and people may twist what you stand for. People may say bad things about you, bear false witness about what you say or represent, because they don’t like what you stand for and what you tell them. But don’t worry, have thick skin because God is on your side. If you don’t have thick skin, pray to God to give you some. I understand it can be hard to face people who don’t like you and don’t agree with you. But remember when this happens that Jesus went through the same things during his time here on earth, and so did many others in the Bible. A good chapter to read in regard to this subject is Hebrews chapter 11. There, you can learn about some of the struggles of God’s people in the face of opposition and how they pressed forward through that opposition.
