Dear Soul,
Today, the road may have seemed steep, and you feel alone.
Someone you trust has disappointed you.
God sees your tears... He feels your
pain.
He longs to comfort you,
for He is a friend who sticks closer than
a brother.
God loves you so much
that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to
die in your place.
He will forgive you for every sin you
committed
if you will are willing to turn from
them.
Maybe you feel,
"He won't forgive my sins for they
are too great,
you don't know the sins I've committed,
I strayed too far from His love."
I understand your
thoughts, dear soul.
I too, felt unworthy, undeserving of His
love.
I knelt at the foot of the cross,
pleading for mercy,
but such is the grace of our God.
The Scripture says,
"...I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance."
~Mark 2:17
Soul, that includes you and I.
No matter how deep into the pit you have
fallen,
God's grace is deeper still.
The dirty, despondant souls dying in
their sins
He came to save.
He'll reach out His hand to hold yours!
With every heart bowed,
raise up your hand if you can say with
me,
"I am a sinner! I've been a
sinner all of my life,
and I want to be forgiven!"
Maybe you are an alcholic, you've
mistreated your wife.
You regret the mistakes of your past,
lift up your hand, dear soul...
God bless you, brother!
Are there any other sinners here tonight?
Maybe some of you are like that fallen
sinner,
she was a prostitute, the talk of the
town.
With a veil around her face she came to
Jesus,
knowing He was the One who could save
her.
With tears streaming down her face
she wet His feet with her tears,
and wiped them with her hair.
He said to her, "your sins which are
many are forgiven."
Soul, can HEe say that of you tonight?
Some of you, have tears streaming down
your face now
as you can relate to her.
Maybe you're not a prostitude of your
body,
but of your time...
your money... your faith.
You've given yourself to unworthy
cause
or sold yourself for a lesser value for
whatever the reason.
You're as guilty as she was,
but the same Jesus that has forgiven her
will forgive you tonight.
One day we will stand before the Lord,
transparent in His presence.
Our life will be revealed,
every thought, every word, every motive
of our heart
will be before Him to be judged.
Slip up your hand if you can say with me,
"I've tried it on my own, I made a
mess out of my life."
God bless dear soul!
You made your share of mistakes, but He
loves you!
Whenever I pass a cemetary, I remember my
time will come.
It might be the end of the road for some
of you pretty soon.
Maybe you thought about giving your life
to Christ,
but put it off for one reason or another.
Whatever the reason, today is the day of
Salvation,
harden not your hearts.
Tonight, I want to give you an
opportunity to make peace with God.
You can find forgiveness
and have your name written in the Book of
Life.
In that day no excuses will count,
R.S.V.P is required.
"And whosoever was not found written
in the Book of Life
was cast into the Lake of Fire."
Soul, is your name written there tonight?
The Scripture says,
"That if thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised Him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved."
~ Romans 10:9
Right now, wherever you are you can bow
your head,
and commit your life to Christ.
You can begin a relationship with Him
by praying a prayer such as the
following:
"O God, I am a sinner.
I am sorry for my sins.
Please forgive me.
I want to turn from my sin.
I receive Jesus Christ as my Savior;
I confess Him as my Lord
from now on, I want to follow Him.
In Jesus' name, Amen."
If you have received the Lord Jesus
Christ as your personal Savior
after reading this invitation, please let
us know.
We would love to hear from you. Your first name is sufficient.
