Tragedy and triumph |
|
The greatest tragedy of the human race is that many people have chosen to refuse this second chance, this magnificent sacrifice of love. They have been lost forever, never to know the fellowship of the Savior who died to bring them home.
How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:29 NIV) But it doesn't have to end that way. Jesus, God's son, is the Lord of all, and His arms are outstretched for you today. for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13 NIV). Lord Jesus, I understand now that I am part of a blighted race, and that I have failed to meet your standards. Even when I try, I can't be good enough to reach you. Thank you, Lord Jesus, that you have reached me. You have touched my heart, and I want to be part of your forever family. Thank you that you didn't give up on me, Jesus. Thank you that you loved me so much that you died for me. Lord Jesus, I can never repay you, and I know that. I have made a mess out of my life, and I have nothing to offer you in return. I come empty-handed, helpless, and hopeless without you. I repent of the wrong I've done. I accept you as Lord of my life, and ask you to begin changing me even now. I don't want to be like this. I want to be all you created me to be. Lord Jesus, I give myself to you right now. You lead the way, and I will follow. Thank you for the change that you are making in my heart even now. Lord, I believe. I trust you to go with me forever. And I surrender my life to you. Thank you for saving me Jesus. Thank you for this moment that has changed my life forever. From this day forth, I walk with you. Amen. If you have just prayed this prayer, or if you have any questions we can help you with, email us.
