Jesus. He's the author and perfecter of our faith. He's the sacrificial lamb. He's the reason that we have victory. He's the first and the last. He's the beginning and the end. He's the one you might feel is the farthest away, but it actually closer than you could ever imagine.
Jesus is the reason that I'm alive and that I write what I write. He saved me and completely transformed my life. He's a good God - one that you can trust for everything. He wants to know you and be close to you!
Why have you been pushing Jesus away for so long? Has church ruined the relationship that your heart so desperately longs for? It almost did for me until I found God at a church that was Biblical. I have never had greater fulfillment in my life than when I was completely surrendered to God.
In this video, I ask Greyson Williams (fellow staff-member and pastor's son) about why he thinks that people run from Jesus.
Give God a chance and see if He doesn't prove Himself. He's so good and He wants to meet all of your needs if you will call upon His name! Want to begin?
Pray this prayer out loud:
God, I choose today to lay down my life. I've been running from You and now it's time for me to have the relationship with you that I've always wanted. I declare with my mouth and believe in my heart that you are Lord, and I ask you to fill my life today! Guide me in this process and help me to find the body of believers that you would like me to be a part of. I love you and I thank you for dying for me!
In Jesus' Name, Amen!
