ARE YOU GOING TO HEAVEN

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

Mark 8:36
King James Version

I was born July 7, 1943 but I was born again into God's family on August 14, 1980 when I asked God to forgive me for my sins and invited Jesuis into my heart to be my Saviour.

My spiritual birthday, when I was born again into God's family is more important than the day when my Mother gave birth to me.

You may live in a beautiful home, drive a nice car and have many material things but if you haven't invited Jesus into your heart you don't have anything because nothing matters unless you have Jesus in your heart.

Not only do we need Jesus in our heart so we can go to Heaven when we die, He has also told us that without Him we can't do anything. We read this in the Bible in John 15:5.

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

There are days when I am in so much pain that I can't get out of bed without Jesus helping me. Of course, satan will do all he can do to discourage me from serving Jesus so when I am hurting so much that I want to stay in bed I ask Jesus to comfort me, encourage me and help me get out of bed and He does.

Jesus has never failed to encourage and comfort me and He never will. If you are hurting, tell Jesus. He loves you so much He died for you and He cares about you and wants you to be happy. He tells us this in the Bible.

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10

Nothing would make satan any happier than if we stop serving Jesus. The next time you're hurting, ask Jesus to help you. He will pick you up in His loving arms and carry you until the pain goes away and will set you once again on the mountain top of happiness. I love You, dear Jesus.
