Hello all, I wanted to extend a HAPPY NEW YEAR to every and remind you that God loves you! I have recently met up with people who have thoughts that their lives aren't worth anything and contemplate ending it. If you're one of those people, pleaese know there's a God out there that cares for you and loves you so much. He gave you life, and He'll call you home when it's your time.

If you think you don't deserve to live, think again! Every life was put on this earth for a specific purpose. Find out what your purpose is and pursue it with a reckless abandon. So many people feel hopeless and helpless because they feel they have no purpose. That couldn't be further from the truth. God wants you to KNOW your purpose ... just ask Him what it is and He'll impress it on your heart. When you have a purpose - you come to life. You'll realize your life matters to someone around you and is  better off for knowing you. You may not even know what a simple smile can do for people that you see while you're out and about. That could be the day they wanted to end their life, and your smile would give them hope for promising tomorrow. Jesus is that hope! Hang on to Him for dear life and He'll carry you through whatever trial you're now facing. He'll never leave or forsake you. Yeah, you've heard that a hundred times, but IT'S TRUE!!! HE NEVER WILL LEAVE YOU TO FEND FOR YOURSELF! Put your trust in the God of the universe and KNOW that He has your BEST in mind for you.  Why would you want to settle for anything less than God's best? His best is not walking away from from a battle, but letting Him go before you and fighting it for you. So let Him! Let Him face your giants! Let Him tell the accuser in your life that you're HIS and no one can touch you! You're on His watch ... let Him be your guide. I may be rambling on, but I know someone out there is reading this that feels hopeless about their life. I'm here to tell you there is a hope, and that hope is Jesus Christ. If you've never received Jesus in your heart, you can do that today. Just ask Him to forgive you of your sins ... ask Him to cleanse you from within ... ask Him to be the Lord of your life from this moment on. He'll be there for you, I promise -- your life will change and you'll wonder why you didn't do this sooner! A calm will come over you and you'll realize the bright future that He has planned for you. Oh, and don't forget to smile at someone today!!! You may be saving a life!
