Monday: Solution

There is only one lasting solution to living a lifeless life and that solution is found in Christ. He has something to offer you and that is abundant life. John 10:10 says: "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."(KJV) Jesus came to the earth so that we wouldn't have to live hopeless lives, so that we wouldn't be bound by sin and death; he came so that we could have abundant life. He knew that you would need Him, that you would feel this way, so he came to give you hope and peace. You have to accept His gift in for you and then allow it to change you. Jesus came so that you didn't have to see life the way the world sees it and so that you can be changed for the better. Do you want strength, peace and hope? Jesus's gift will give you this. Begin today by praying and begining to study your Bible so that you might find out for your self what Jesus has planned for you. Abundant life doesn't mean a life of wealth and glamour, it means a life filled with peace, love and joy. Peace in knowing that God will forgive your sins and erase your past,“Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, ‘I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.’ And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone” (Psalm 32:5). Joy in knowing that Jesus is coming back for you that this life isn't the end, there is something better planned for you.Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also (John 14: 1-3). Mostly importantly basking in the love of God and letting it shine through your life. 1 John 4:9-10"God showed how much He loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love- not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Sin as a sacrifice to take away our sins." Abundant life is yours and it is found in Jesus try him today and He'll fulfill the deepest longings of your heart.

Jesus Came To Save
by Cindy Wyatt
Jesus came not to call the righteous but sinners to repent
When he left heaven to come to earth that was his sole intent
It's not the people who are whole but those sick who need a physician
Jesus came to save sinners
That's why he gave the great commission


He told us to go into the all the world and preach the gospel to every creature
Jesus came to the world to save sinners, not just to be a good teacher
He died on the cross for all the sins of the world
that those who would on him believe and trust his shed blood for remission of sin
would his free gift of salvation receive


To receive this wonderful gift of eternal life,
you only need to look to Jesus and live
He has already paid your sin debt and is ready and willing to forgive
Jesus loves you so much that he suffered and bled and died
If you've never asked him to be your savior, then today is the day to decide


Jesus died, was buried, and rose again the third day
to save you from going to hell
That is the gospel story the greatest story ever to tell
You only need to trust Jesus with your heart and ask him to be your savior
He'll forgive you of all your sin and write your name in heaven
and give you abundant life and so much more

Today take this verse and apply it to your life: Psalm 118:24 - "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." (NIV)
