What hope then do I have? Here it is found the New Testament of the Bible in the book of Romans chapter 5 verse 8 "but God demonstartes His own love for us in this: that while we were still sinners Christ died for the ungodly" But what does such unmerited love do? Read this from 2nd Corinthians 5:17-19 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone! the new has come! All this is from God who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to Himself not counting men's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation"
There is hope in Jesus Christ. Jesus is not about religion, Jesus is not about forcing anything, or pushing a movement. "...while we were still sinners Christ died for the ungodly" God pursued us when we weren't worth being pursued. He saved us from death. Jesus willingly laid down His life so that we could be in a right relationship with God the Father. Jesus knew what He was doing. the sacrifice Jesus became pleased God His Father. The debt of sin has been paid, the veil has been lifted, death has been swallowed up for all time.
What will you say to this? Love like this demands a response. Either you accept it or reject it. There is no fence sitting, no middle ground. Love like this demands a response.
So what does this have to do with photo above? One of the ways God has been pursuing me is through the wonderful and beautiful young lady you see above. For the first time in my twenty two years of living have i wanted to leave everything i thought mattered. Looking into her eyes the rest just fades away. Just having the friendship Jess offers and gives is enough Her wisdom stuns me. Her beauty takes my breath away and my heart suspend its work. She follows Christ and i ask for nothing more, nothing less. I certainly hope she is the one. pvb31.
