Ladies, you know how it is when you have a movie date with your boyfriend. You want to see a romantic comedy. And he wants to see something with fighting and enough blood to keep a hospital stocked. Or you may be in the mood for a tear jerker or a rags to riches story. He wants to see something about brotherhood, betrayal and of course sex. Is there a movie that can contain all of this so you both can be happy? Well, there may be one, but I don’t know what it is. But I do know there is a book that contains all of this and more. It’s the best selling book of all time, boasting more sells than any other book in history. What book is this? The Bible! The Bible is book of history, of science, poetry and romance. It is full of wisdom and hope. More importantly, it is THE book of truth. The people, lives and stories in the Bible aren’t the result of some Hollywood writer’s or bestselling author’s imagination. It’s the 100% absolute truth. It’s the Word of God given to us so that we can know His heart, how to make good decision, get direction and guidance and help during life’s storms. The people of the Bible are just like you and me. We were just born at different times and with different purposes. So I challenge you, if you don’t have one, get a Bible. Get one that is written in a way that is easy for you to understand, like The Message Bible.( It is written in plain everyday language.) As you read it, take your time and see how the stories and words relate to you. Just ask God to help you understand what you read and how you can apply it to your life. And lastly, if you are saying, “I feel ya on the Jesus tip. I know He loves me and He gave His life for me so that all the bad things I’ve done can be forgiven and I can live with Him in heaven when I die. And I believe He’s with me and will never leave me. And while I don’t understand everything yet, I do know that Jesus is God’s son and that regardless of how many good things I do, the only way to have real peace and be saved is to accept Him and make Him number one in my life. And I’m ready to do that.” If that’s you, pray this prayer:

Dear God, I know I’ve done some jacked up stuff. Please forgive me for all of my mistakes and sins. I believe that You gave your only son Jesus to die in my place for my sins. And I know He didn’t stay dead, but got up from the grave and went back to heaven to be with You. I accept Jesus into my life today. I want to live for You. I don’t know how to do that completely yet, but I know You’ll teach me. Thank You for loving me and for having a purpose for my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Welcome to the fam. The decision you just made is an awesome one. Now I’ll be honest with you, all of your problems will not go away. And truth be told, you actually may be faced with new challenges. The difference is, now you’ll have Jesus to help you through them. You don’t have to do it alone anymore. Also, if you currently don’t have a church that you go to, get hooked up with one. Ask God to help you find the one that you should go to. Trust me, He’ll do it. And remember, He didn’t bring you this far to leave you. Ya feel me? Alright then. That’s the Word. So go ahead. Take a minute. And let that simmer.
