Someone is hurting and needs Jesus today.

God is calling you.

He wants to know you on a deeper level. So that tug that you're feeling? That's Christ trying to get to know you. That's the Holy Spirit speaking to your heart about your life. That's what that is.

You have nothing to lose to explore.

Is there an answer for you....for our World?

Yes.

This world needs Jesus.

Do you know you need Him? For God so loved the world… SO LOVES YOU, that He gave His only Son. JESUS LOVES YOU so much that He gave his life. That you might live.

You can even pray to Him right now, if you want. He is waiting.

Jesus is not worried about fancy words. He's interested in you telling him what's on your heart. If you don't know what to say, you might say something like this...

“I know that I need You, Jesus.
And I know I feel empty,
and my heart and life needs healing.
So I'm telling you from my heart,
I'd like you to be my Savior.
For my life and for the world, I can see that You are the answer.
You are my hope.
I will follow You, now and forever.
Amen.”

There's always room at the cross for one more.

When an individual accepts Christ as personal Savior, the Holy Spirit gives the believer the life of God, eternal life, which is really His very nature (Titus 3:5; 2 Peter 1:4), and the Holy Spirit comes to live within him or her, spiritually.

I feel God's tugging on my heart and I would really like to rededicate myself to the Lord. I would also know where in the New Testament is a good place to start reading. The bulk of people I have encountered recommend John's gospel, but is there another place to start?

@powernap Yes, anytime you are ready you can rededicate yourself to the Lord. He waits for us to do that. I have done that, as well. I'm happy for you, and to hear that. I know God is happy and proud of you too.

If you're starting to read the New Testament, the best place to begin is with the "Gospels," which are the first four books: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These books detail the life, teachings, and ministry of Jesus Christ, providing a foundational understanding of His story.

Each Gospel offers a unique perspective on Jesus' life, allowing you to grasp different aspects of His character and teachings.They present a chronological story, making it accessible for new readers.

By the way, I don't believe I've seen you on here or met you before. Nice to meet you. And thanks for your comment. I'll be praying for you as the Holy Spirit leads you and speaks to your heart.

@LadyGrace in all honesty, I became a christian in the late 70's and it's been an up and down adventure since then. I just wish I could find a way to stabilize my christian walk.

@powernap I felt you deserved it and I'm sure the Lord did, too, as the Lord is pleased and feels good when someone rededicates their life to him, as it signifies a sincere commitment to follow Him and turn away from sin, which is seen as an act of love and dedication towards God. It represents a person choosing to deepen their relationship with him.

The Bible emphasizes God's willingness to forgive and renew relationships with Him, when someone repents and returns to Him, making rededication a positive act in His eyes. Rededication goes beyond just a simple acceptance of faith... it implies a conscious decision to actively live a life dedicated to God's will.

The Bible describes God as a loving Father who rejoices when His children choose to come closer to Him. So congratulations!

@powernap I became a believer on July 21st, 1973, myself. In the seventies haha. We all experience that up and down thing, that's because our moods change and we lose sight of whom we should focus on, or we stop reading our Bible and meditating on him, perhaps stop praying cuz we get lazy, but God is so loving and forgiving. He understands all that and he loves us anyway and is always ready to fellowship with us. There is no end to his love for us. It's good if we can get a routine started where we deliberately make time for him and keep that schedule to get in the habit of it. Cuz that devil brings all kinds of distractions to us. Try to read your Bible everyday and when you can, watch some good ministers on YouTube who will bless your life, but choose carefully. I try to remind myself that if I love the Lord, which I do, I will make time for fellowship with him and when we love the Lord, it's not a chore to make time for him or fellowship with him. It is a blessing and privilege. But sometimes we do have to discipline ourselves and not allow Satan to give us distractions. We can turn off our phone and TV when we read the bible, and pray. We can read devotionals and just stay focused on the Lord instead of all the things going on in this world that are negative. We can set aside a certain time and even write that time down on paper until we get used to it.
