—A message from Jesus

You are My child and I love you. It’s just that simple. You have an eternal spirit living within you, and I know you and everything about your life and experiences, and I care for you.

You are living your life, making decisions, trying to figure out the best ways to live and to survive—and it’s a struggle. I understand the challenges of life that you face every day. But the burdens you carry and the weights you struggle with can be lightened if you will come to Me.

Though your life will run its course and you will continue to age and then one day you will die, your spirit never dies. The real you—your spirit, which dwells within the confines of your body—will live forever. That is why the material things of this world are not the things to strive for, because one day you must leave them behind. The things that truly matter transcend the material: love, kindness, mercy, understanding, giving. These are the things that make you rich—rich in spirit.

When the day comes that you shed the garment of your body, your spirit will be what counts. So do good. Be kind. Give generously. Love your family, friends, neighbors, and those you meet in the course of your everyday life. Show mercy, kindness, and compassion. For by sharing these things—by showing love—you show Me to others.

When you come to the end of your life, you will need the key to enter into My home, where love, joy, peace, and truth reign eternally. But you don’t have to work for that key—you only have to choose to receive it. The key is acceptance of Me and My sacrifice on the cross for your redemption.

I have loved you with an everlasting love—a love so great that I came to earth and took on human form so that anyone who believes and receives Me will never perish, but will enter into My eternal kingdom.

Jesus wants to enter into a personal relationship with you and become a very real part of your life both here and now and forever in eternity. Just ask Him to come into your heart, this wonderful Somebody who loves you, and He will give you a beautiful new life of love that will last forever.

Dear Jesus, please forgive me for all my sins. I believe that You died for me. I invite You into my heart and life. Please fill me with Your love and Holy Spirit, help me get to know You, and guide me in the way of truth. Help me to love You and love others and live by the words in Your book, the Bible. Amen.

If you’ve said that prayer with sincerity, Jesus has come into your heart, because He promised to do so. He said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone will open the door, I will come in” (Revelation 3:20).
