I have spent the last two years in a constant battle, one I've been fighting for years, but the past two years, I worked at it like never before, I needed to know the truth.  Life was too complex to have just happened.  There had to be something that created us.  I knew that the world couldn't have just happened by chance.  Looking down at my fingers, every tip a different print, told me that.  Not just every finger I had, but every finger on the planet.  No two have the exact same print.  Your finger isn't even an inch wide.  Imagine, that many different combinations in over 7 billion people.  That can't be just chance.  To make it even more miraculous.  Look at the trees.  Thousands of leaves per tree for most species.  Not two leaves a like.  Even better, snowflakes.  No two snowflakes ever the same, so beautifully falling down on us in an array of awing shapes, never to be copied.  That all can't be chance.  Someone had to do it, to take such care to make each person, each leaf, each snowflake so special, so unique.  So who was this?  Who cared that much?

God loves you so much He sent His ONLY Son to die on a cross for you, so that through His sacrifice we wouldn't have to sacrifice ourselves.  Jesus was perfect, and in His perfect sacrifice, God has allowed the blood He shed to cleanse our sins.  We can't get into heaven with sin, Heaven is a perfect place, free from sin, hurt, pain.  We have to be washed completely clean before we enter so that Heaven is never tainted.  It seems so harsh that Jesus had to die like He did, but He did it out of love.  He could have said no.  That's made very clear in the Bible.  God didn't force Him to be sacrificed.  He did it out of love, loving each person that reads this so much, that He died the most horrible recorded death in the history of man so that you could spend eternity with Him, feeling His love every day.  Think of the person you love the most, or you hope to love someday, what would you do for them to keep them safe?  To be able to spend eternity with them?  To be able to give them all your love?  That might help you understand Christ Jesus' sacrifice for you even more.

Do you want to know this love for yourself?  Do you want assurance that you aren't alone?  Do you want to know for sure that you will spend eternity in Heaven after you pass away from this earth?  John 3:1-21 will help you.  What steps do you need to take?  It's easier than most think.  Simply tell God you are sorry for being a sinner, for every single person alive on the planet today has sinned.  Next tell Him that you love Him, that you want to spend your life with Him, and tell Him that you want Him to live in your heart.  If you pray this to Him, believing He is who He says He is, then you can be assured of your salvation.  God heard you.  Please tell another Christian if you can of your decision.  If you can't, please feel free to write me.
