The most important decision that you will ever make in your life is whether or not you believe in Jesus Christ. I know your probably thinking here we go with religion but if anyone knows me they know that I can't stand religion. I was raised in Catholicism with all of its rules and regulations and it made me not want anything to do with Jesus or church. But after living much of my adult life the way that I wanted to live it and making some poor choices I was left wondering there has to be more to this life than this and through many trials and errors I met Jesus and began a personal relationship with Him. After seeking Him and not listening to what other people thought about Him I began to see how twisted other peoples thoughts are about Jesus. I have heard if your a good person you will go to heaven. As long as your happy God's happy with you. I really believed that God was an unjust God that was into doing things His Way and only His Way and then I met Jesus and found the complete opposite. I have discovered that He is a sinner's savior, that He is the only one qualified to be an all sufficient Savior. He supplies strength for the weak. He's available for the tempted and tried. He is sympathetic and He saves. He strengthens and sustains. He guards and He guides. He heals the sick. He cleansed the lepers. He forgives sinners. He disregards debtors. He delivers the captive and He defends the feeble. His life is matchless. His goodness is limitless. His mercy is everlasting. His love never changes. His Word is enough. His grace is sufficient. His yoke is easy and HIs burden is light. The good news is He does not want anything to do with religion. He is not interested in you making it to church every Sunday. He does not care what you look like on the outside. He only cares about whats in your heart.

These are the lyrics from a song called True Love by Phil Wickham:

Come close listen to the story
About a love more faithful than the morning
The Father gave his only son just to save us
The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Father's broken heart
Tears were filling heaven's eyes
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
Search your heart, you know you can't deny it
Come on, lose your life just so you can find it
The Father gave his only son just to save us

John 3:16 -18 The Message This is how much God loved the world. He gave His Son, His one and only Son. And this is why so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in Him, ANYONE can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending His Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in Him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust Him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to Him.

Take the time this year to at least ponder the thought of Jesus. If you don't know HIm as Savior at least think about it, seek Him who created you and let Him reveal Himself to you. If you do know Him I encourage you in 2010 to dig deeper into HIs life. Get into the RED LETTERS that are written in the Word and dont let the troubles and circumstances get in the way of Jesus in your life this year!

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I would be only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing. If I give everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it, but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing.
