Message of Hope:

Did you know that God will meet us where we are and love and accept us just the way we are? Through God's only begotten Son Jesus Christ we have obtained the promise of God's love. Romans 5 tells us that, "Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand. For while we were yet sinners, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly."

When you walk in this grace, you are saved, not by works and what you do, but by what Christ has already done on Calvary's cross for each of us. This, however, does not mean that we continue in our sin, but sin no longer has authority over our lives. Hence, the question therefore is not does God love me, however, the question is do you love you? If you are tired of going through trials and tribulations all by yourself, and you desire to walk in the promise of God's grace as seen in Jesus Christ, recite this simple prayer:

God I love you and accept your promise as seen in Jesus Christ and I desire to grow stronger in you and as such I remember the prayer you taught your disciples to pray:

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen!

If you recited this from your heart, you are assured that God has received you just as you are.

With love,
Pastor Torrey O. Johnson
