It doesn't matter if you are young or old, black or white. rich or poor, educated or uneducated, even good or bad. We were created equals by God with an empty space inside that belongs to Him and only He can fill. Life is never complete without Him no matter how much or how little we have, we think if we just had that one more thing, more money, better job, bigger house, faster car, new relationship. more holidays etc. then life will be good. . Some try to fill this emptiness with drugs, alcohol, sex, ponography, gluttony. We reap what we sow and all these things bring their own problems, in failed health, broken homes and relationships and an even greater emptiness and loneliness inside.
Pleasure is short lived and the old adage "far off fields look green" still holds true. Have you ever actually stood in a field and seen how green the other field in the distance seemed and then gone to stand in that field and look back at the one you left only to find that it now looks much greener than the one you are now in? It has nothing to do with the fields but our perception of how things appear.
When we fail be it in work, in relationships or whatever, failure leads to low self esteem and a feeling of guilt,sadly for some the burden of guilt and the loneliness become so overpowering and hopeless that they take their own lives.
There is an answer provided by God and you can know His peace, acceptance and love through Jesus Christ who was put to death on a cruel cross to pay the price for your sin and mine. He defeated death and rose again and by His Spirit can change our lives and offers the free gift of eternal life to all who repent of sin and call upon Him.
The following is a simple prayer of commitment to God and if your are tired of this life and its burdens and pain then if you earnestly say and mean it - Christ will come into your heart by His spirit and you will be spiritually born again, a new creation with a new hope and purpose in life in this world and life everlasting in the world to come:
"Lord Jesus I need you. Thank you for dying on Calvary for my sins. I am truly sorry for all that I have done wrong. I open the door of my heart and welcome you as Saviour and Lord. Take over the throne of my life and by your Holy Spirit help me to become the person you want me to be. I thank you for the gift of eternal life. AMEN"
No matter what you have been or have done, if you said this prayer and are genuinely sorry for past wrongdoing, intending by God's grace and the Holy Spirit's help to lead a new life. Then you have been born again, you may not feel any different, it is not about feelings but God's grace and love. Go tell someone, if you are not already a member of a church, find a Christian fellowship where you can learn and grow, read the bible and ask God each day in prayer to lead you in His ways. This is only the beginning of an exciting journey as you find God's will for your life.
