Why Teens Cut
Dear soul,
Last night I saw you weeping.
How I long to hold you in My arms,
to tell you how much I love you.
Your tears are making tears in My eyes,
as I watch you seek for emotional relief.
You reach for a blade.
I shiver at its coldness.
I call out to you...
" You are too precious".
But you couldn't hear Me,
absorbed in thoughts of your own.
Sometimes its good to have a good cry,
and talk to a trusted friend.
For it releases some of your pain
and helps you gain a better perspective on life.
I understand that you feel misunderstood.
You feel you have disappointed your parents.
Your tears touch Mine as you cry yourself to sleep,
unable to articulate your words.
When the pain won't go away you reach for a blade.
A scar that you'll wear for life.
Silently, I suffer along with you...
I understand your innermost pain.
On the cross, blood flowed from My veins,
as I gave every ounce of My blood.
I died so that your sins could be forgiven.
To have a relationship with you
and spend eternity with you in heaven.
Dear soul,
I don't know who you are
or what pain you're going through.
If it's the cause of the Lord
that I have experienced your pain
I'm glad that it happened
if it would keep you from hurting yourself.
For there go I, but for the grace of God.
Tonight, I challenge you to put down your blade
and place your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Scripture says,
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
~ Romans 3:23
"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
Don't fall asleep without Jesus
until you are assured of a place in heaven.
Tonight, if you would like to receive the gift of eternal life
first you must believe in the Lord.
You have to ask for your sins to be forgiven
and put your trust in the Lord.
To be a believer in the Lord, ask for eternal life.
There's only one way to heaven and that's through the Lord Jesus.
That's God's wonderful plan of salvation.
You can begin a personal relationship with Him
by praying from your heart a prayer such as the following:
"Oh God, I am a sinner.
I am sorry for my sins.
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 as your personal Savior
after reading this invitation, please let us know.
We would love to hear from you. Your first name is sufficient.
We'll leave the light on for you...
Welcome to the family of God!
We are excited about your decision to accept the Lord Jesus as your Savior,
and would like to encourage you to find a local church that you could be a part of
to help you grow in your new walk with Him.
Also, we encourage you to develop a personal relationship with the Lord
by reading the Scriptures and praying to Him often.
Talk to Him as you would talk to a dearest friend.
He desires that closeness and intimacy with you!
"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:
he shall gather the lambs with His arm,
and carry them in his bosom,
and shall gently lead those that are with young."
~ Isaiah 40:11
