Salvation
Today Could Be Your Spiritual Birthday.....
JESUS shed his blood for YOU... Accept him into your heart and live a better life than you are currently experiencing today. Say out of your mouth that you believe that he died on the cross for you, that he died so that you can have eternal life, that he died so that your sins can be cleansed, he died so that he could save you from yourself, admit that you are a sinner and that you trust that he can change you and make you whole.... that you do not know what the future holds but you rather walk with him than without HIM... Now that you have Said it, because you Believed it, now Share it, so that others can help you Walk it....
I love you dearly, and I promise that you have made the best decision!
Congratulations! Today is YOUR Spiritual Birthday, because you were born Again by accepting Jesus Christ into your life. Now please remember this day, for it is just as important as any other day that you choose to celebrate.
With God, You Will Have...
Without HIM, you are literally killing your OWN self......

You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. (Genesis 50:20 NLT)
God meant it for good
Joseph's life was anything but peaceful. It was complicated by youthful folly, broken dreams, and the mean-spirited actions of others. Sold into slavery by jealous brothers. Thrown into prison on false charges. Yet he remained a man remarkable for his lack of bitterness or regret, always seeing God as the "Great Engineer" behind even the worst of circumstances. In a final confrontation with his brothers, he graciously noted, "You meant it for bad; God meant it for good." The theology packed in that statement is astounding. "God meant it for good" means:
You can accept the past - No sin, no action, no choice on your part is too big for God to handle - or too big to be worked for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
You can embrace the present - There's no need to play the "what if" game. The past is gone, and no energy you expend will ever change it. The future is in God's omnipotent hands, so you're free to focus on the present. Your job is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, trusting him to forgive the past and transform the future.
You can look expectantly toward the future - Even if you make mistakes today, God still controls your future.
No matter how bad things get - God is still able to bring good out of it. Today, thank God that nothing - no disaster, no delay - is bigger that his ability to turn it into something good and godly.
- Thank God and let go - Thank God that he is sovereign over your past, your present, and your future.
- Give God the circumstances, disasters, hindrances, hurts, and sins from your past.
- Give God your current situation, your disasters, hindrances, hurts, and sins of today.
- Praise God that he can work anything in your future for godly good, that you can walk in confidence that there is nothing anyone can do to you, or anything you can do that will be beyond the reach of God's grace and redemption.
- Look for God's hand - Walking by faith means you see God's hand even in the most difficult of circumstances. You trust his ability and his willingness to transform the bad into godly good. God is not limited by people's motives. In other words, it doesn't matter why someone hurt you, God still can transform a deliberate, mean-spirited situation into something for his good.
