God can give your life meaning...actually only He can give true meaning, real peace, unspeakable Joy and a reason to live.

First........

Recognize that.....GOD LOVES YOU and Has a Plan for Your Life~You have worth!




Second.........

Recognize that.....Everyone has SINNED and SIN SEPARATES YOU from GOD

SIN is man walking in his own way in rebellion against God's will.
When we walk away from God, we walk away from life.
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)

As humans we are always trying to find life's meaning in the wrong ways and places.


There is a way that seems right to man, but it leads to death. (Pro. 14:12)

Our own efforts can't save us
Galatians 6 :14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.


Third.......

JESUS DIED AND ROSE AGAIN FOR OUR SINS

He DIED in OUR place.
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom. 5: 8

JESUS is the WAY to New Life.
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Cor. 5:17)

He gives INNER PEACE.
We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ Rom. 5:1)

AND FREEDOM.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:36)

AND ETERNAL LIFE.
...but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom. 6:23)

JOY!! "In Your presence is fullness of JOY!" Psalm 16:11

Fourth......

ASK GOD for FORGIVENESS

CONFESS YOUR SINS TO GOD (Talk to Him about it)
He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses
and renounces them finds MERCY. (Pro. 28:13

FORGIVENESS is PROMISED.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)



Fifth.....

Place Your TRUST in Jesus and Receive HIM as Your SAVIOR.

Jesus is READY.
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice
and opens the door. I will go in... (Rev. 3:30)

Receive HIM NOW.
Yet to all who receive Him, to those who believed in His name
He gave them the right to become children of God.

The Bible says that "we can come boldly to the throne of the Lord, and obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:14) Let's do that now!

Ok, now let's start this relationship off right with the Lord!! Let's talk to Him! Simply, like this.........
Lord Jesus, I want to have a life with meaning. I want to leave the darkness behind
and have Your Light within me. I confess that I have sinned and I ask Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for me and I accept You as my Savior.
I will turn away from a life of darkness and sin and now follow You.
It is Your grace and power that will enable me to live for You.
Thank-You, Jesus, for saving me, and for giving me a new life in Your Light.
Amen!

That's not the end though! You need to find that Bible that is somewhere in your house....is it understandable? If not go get one you can read....(I use the NEW King James Version) when you do that... read it! underline it... Now ask the Lord to lead you to the church He wants you to worship Him at. Then get Baptized. Check out the ChristianGoth.com Directory page at the bottom for some recommended churches. Talk to Him everyday, all the time! Start out by praising Him for the great thing He has done in you & go on from there....He loves and adores you, stay close ~ He always wants to hear from you!



In the past you were full of darkness, but now you are full of light in the Lord. So live like children who belong to the light. Light brings every kind of goodness, right living, and truth. Try to learn what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the things done in the darkness, which are not worth anything. But try to expose them.
Ephesians 5.8-11

"For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13



Show Me The Way

Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven
And every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay
And I feel this empty place inside so afraid that I've lost my faith

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way

And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know there's peace in a world so filled with hatred
That I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find we've so far to go
And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won't know

Show me the way, Show me the way
Take me tonight to the mountain
And wash my confusion away

And if I feel light, should I believe
Tell me how will I know

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way, show me the way
Give me the strength and the courage
To believe that I'll get there someday
Show me the way

Every night I say a prayer
In the hope that there's a heaven...
