8/19                 James 4:8
8 Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.

GOD
God is seeking you.  He is interested in having a personal relationship with you.  Turn to Jesus and place your faith in Him.  He will give you new life.

8/18                 Acts 3:19-20

19 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. 

20 Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.

PERSONAL

Every tub must sit on its own bottom.  Sin is personal.  All of us sin.  After Adam, every person ever born except Jesus is a sinner.  You need help because you cannot pay the price to forgive your sin.  Jesus offers a free gift: forgiveness of your sin.  Ask Christ to forgive you today and place your faith and trust in Him.  

8/17                 John 3:16-17
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
YOU
God is giving you the choice of His free gift of life in Christ Jesus.  Jesus died to save us and you from our sin.  He offers you the chance to choose this free gift of life by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior.  You choose. 

8/16                 Matthew 6:33

33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
GODGod is intimately involved in our lives, in our needs, in who we are and what we are called to do.  He is with us.  He is helping us, guiding us and involved in everything in our life.  Seek Him and He will organize the hours and days of our lives. 

8/15                 Ezra 9:9
9 Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness in the sight of the kings of Persia: He has granted us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.
CARES
God cares for you.  He cares for each one of us.  We are great sinners.  Jesus is the One who paid the price for our sin.  He LOVES each one of us as if we were the only one.  God cares for you.  

8/14                 Habakkuk 3:2
I have heard all about you, LORD . I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy.

MERCY
Lord, I need mercy.  Help me.  I am overwhelmed by YOUR interest in my life.  Thank you Lord.  

8/13                 Lamentations 5:21
Restore us, O LORD, and bring us back to you again! Give us back the joys we once had!  

RETURN

Lord we get lazy and drift away.  Bring us back home to You.  Restore our joy.  Renew our peace.  Thank you Lord.  

8/12                 Psalm 119:156; 159
LORD, how great is your mercy; let me be revived by following your regulations.
159 See how I love your commandments, LORD. Give back my life because of your unfailing love.

MERCY

Mercy is great and grace is free.  Do things God’s way.  Jesus is Lord.  He gives us back our lives.  

8/11                 Psalm 119:107
I have suffered much, O LORD; restore my life again as you promised.

PROMISE

Our Lord promises us that He will restore us.  He is for us.  He is a good and just God.  Praise the name of Jesus.  He is Lord. 

8/10                 Psalm 119:88
In your unfailing love, spare my life; then I can continue to obey your laws.

LIFE

Lord, life is in You.  Spare me.  When You do I can continue to obey Your laws.  Thank You Lord.  Thank You.
