I came across this weekly encouragement and thought it was such a great reminder!
Acts 3:19-20 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.
One of my favorite songs by Jeremy Camp is called Give Me Jesus. I have included the You Tube link above. The lyrics are simple but speak volumes. We need nothing in this world more than we need Jesus. As we rise, when we feel alone, when we come to die, we need Jesus. The many joys of being a Christian come in knowing that our failures can be forgiven. We can have new beginnings, a fresh start, and unconditional love through Jesus. If your journey through life is anything like mine, you might agree that without God's mercy and forgiveness we would be destined for an eternity of darkness. With God, we may be comforted. If you feel as if you need a fresh start, a new beginning, as do I, together let us turn to Jesus, repent and give thanks for a loving God that sees beyond our faults. I encourage us all to reflect on the joy we have in knowing Jesus died for us so our sins can be forgiven and we can enjoy everlasting life!
