Be Born Again

I waved the white flag,  I raised my hands.
As I looked up, gave it up, I dropped to my knees.
The Universal look.  The Universal cry.
Surrender!

Take my life, and make it yours. Make my life new.
I give it to you now and forever more.
Please forgive me for all my sins and all my sinful ways.
Lord please come, and be my LORD, my Saviour!
I live my life for you! I Surrender ALL!

Marvel Not-Do Not Be Astonished-Wonder Not-Don't Be Surprised              John 3:7
Jesus said, You must
Jesus said, It is necessary
Jesus said, All of you must
Be Born Again
Why? because otherwise-
You cannot see the kingdom of God                                                                       John 3:3
How can this be?-How is it possible?-How can that be?                                  John 3:9
Jesus said, I tell you truth
Jesus replied, I assure you
Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you
no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.       John 3:5
How?
Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.                                                                                                                                                              John 3:6
O.K. then what?
Then everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.                          John 3:15


I want to have eternal life with you Lord, please I want to be born again.
But my lifestyle, the way I do things, will it change in an instant, will I change over night?
I want to do things your way. I've changed some things. I'm more sensitive and aware to some things, but what about my....? Why do I do....? See I wasn't ready!
See all this stuff God I have to work on...

But I tell you, I did not come to condemn the world-I did not come to judge you.
I came so that the world, so that you, might be saved through Me. That's why I died on the cross. For you. I did it ALL  for you.                                                                                     John 3:16,17
This book, the bible, this is written for you.
That you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.                                                                                                                John 20:31

So now I am born again.
I am a born again believer in Christ.
My hope is in Him.
I am a Christian.

Don't Waste Another Second

I'm back...
Not better, not more put together, not even worthy.
I've been searching, when I thought I would be fixing.
Fixing me.
They offered it to me for a time. Strong arms, a place to lay my head.
Safety? Security? Is this what it's suppose to be like?
The bottom of a bottle. I found a calm, a peace. Temporary, yes. But found. The moment.

Only to awake yet another day-to my chaos, my demise, my life.

I hunger for it, I've been searching forever for it. What is it...?

I know. I won't care. I will be bitter, you don't even have a clue.
I will hate, I know hate.  I will judge, it's so easy to do.
Judgment hiding behind every corner, creeping over my every breathe,
jumping out at every step.
I know screaming matches. I know a house that lived "unequally yoked."
Feeling alone and undiscovered, at every door  knocked on, and
every friendship I could of made.

I have looked every which way.  To the left-To the right-To the front-Even behind.
Where am I going wrong?  Chaos created for me. The only steps I know to take.
The regret-The turmoil-The disappointment-The torment-The tears-The hurt.
Spiraling Down! Life a trap! The lot I've been given!

I can't hold this up anymore! It's so heavy. Death-Come! Come NOW and take me away!

"FORGIVEN!"  "If you can't take it anymore-Come! Come-bring it to Him-Jesus! 
Drop it at His feet. Come now-don't wait-don't hesitate. Come NOW!" 

"I can't go!  What will they think?  What will they say?  Everyone looking at me!
Seeing me!  Seeing my sin, seeing me, seeing right through , piercing my soul!
I can't, I can't!  I was suppose to be ready this time."
"O.k. if the pastor asks one more time, I'll go for sure.  He won't say it again. I hope he doesn't ask again.  I'm feeling something, like I should go, but I can't, I won't!  God if your real, if your there, Please hear this one, Don't have him say COME again!"

"Come! If you hesitated-Come.  Another chance! Come.  This isn't about me, it's not about those around you, this is about you and God, this is between you and Jesus!  Come!
Give your life to Him! Let Him take over!  Give it to Him-Give it all to Him!

Hmm! An Unanswered Prayer!

Shaking-Crying-Unsure-But.....
I wanted better.  I wanted to be better.  I wanted more out of life.  I wanted more for my life.  I wanted more in my life. I want more for my kids, my family, my marriage.  I have a responsibility to my kids, to my family.  Oh, what do I do.....?  What do I have to lose? 

One direction I never looked. Up!-Please don't let me down!

A flood rushed over me-
I felt safe-I felt love-I felt a new peace, a real peace-I felt calm- I felt forgiven...
I was forgiven- I am forgiven-I knew and believed I was indeed forgiven!
and I haven't looked back since!!!

LOOK UP-and DON'T EVER LOOK BACK!

Psst, and thank you Jesus,  for that unanswered prayer!
