God's Plan

For I know the plans I have toward you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11

Are you living a meaningless and purpose-less life? You live day in, day out, the same routine with the same familiar people. Ecclesiastes opens, "For what has man for all his labour, and for the striving of his heart, with which he has toiled under the sun?"

Do you know Gods plans for your life? Once you know Gods plan for your life, you will discover that life takes on a whole new meaning. You will begin to understand what JESUS meant by, "Ye are the branches." This year, earnestly desire to follow God, His will and His plans for your life.

Before we can, however, get into knowing Gods plan, you need to know Gods Son, and you need to have a personal relationship with JESUS. If you knew JESUS a long time ago or only heard about Him now, today is your opportunity to start a new life with Him, by saying the prayer below, believing that what you confess is true:

"Dear Lord Jesus,

I need You. I need Your grace to forgive me and I need Your love to change me. Thank you for your amazing love. Thank you for giving me life and eternity. But above all, thank you for dying on the cross for me.

I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. I believe that You are the Son of the living, Almighty God. Now I am a Christian, and I know that You live in me. I belong to you. I want to live my life for You and love You all the days of my life.

Amen."

If you have prayed this prayer, I welcome you to your new family.
