God Is So Good!!
key verse: 1Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful: He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
This has always been one of my favorite Bible verses. I learned it very early when I first invited Jesus to be the Lord and savior of my life. When I first gave my life to the Lord, I was leading a very sinful life. I had a very personal and life changing experience when I met God, but alot of the normal everyday temptations were still there! I used to beat myself up about it, and the devil used to use it as a way to keep me down! One of my mentors then showed me this verse, and I have never forgotten it! When life happens, and you just begin to feel a struggle, or you feel like dragging your feet because you have been lured into sin.....just pray for God to help you, and recite this verse! Remember that He will never abandon you, and He will never put you to your limits! Not only will He not give you more than you can bear...He will never give you more than HE can bear!! He will always provide a way for you to get out of any harmful situation!!
If you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior...there is no time like the present! All you have to do is admit that you are a sinner, believe that God came to this Earth in the form of a man, who was Jesus Christ. Believe that He was born and live a perfect and sinless life, then was crucified to cleanse us of our sins. If you believe that, then all you have to do is confess with your mouth and pray this simple prayer right now:
"Heavenly Father, I admit that I am a sinner. I believe that You died on the cross for me. I pray that You will cleanse my heart and make it white as snow. I pray that You will forgive me of my sins, and be the Lord of my life. I surrender my life unto You. Thank You for loving me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen."
If you just prayed that prayer for the first time, welcome to the family, and please send me a comment, I would love to be able to pray for you. You need to tell someone...maybe a friend, or someone you feel comfortable with that you know to be a Christian. I can help you find a church to go to if you need my help. I pray that God will bless you richly!!
