Karen's thoughts: God, the Artist!

God, the Artist!

Although the above picture was taken in Wyoming in 2007, I thought I'd add a picture just for effect. Anyway, my thought today is about how beautiful the world can actually be. Sometimes when I am just driving along the freeway here in San Diego during Spring, I see flowers EVERYWHERE! I love Spring. It's a time of rebirth. I was just thanking God today as I drove along, for putting the yellow and orange flowers all over so I can enjoy their spectacular color and beauty. God is so thoughtful to share His handiwork with us. I have traveled to many different places and they all hold some type of beauty. I love to travel in Montana and Wyoming, as you can imagine, both of those states have so many pretty places to visit. The picture above is of Red Canyon, just outside of Riverton, WY. I took it on my way back to SD after visiting some friends. I love the Lord and sometimes I just sit back and thank Him for all the beauty that surrounds us. It's easy to just rush through life and not admire the simple things.

"Thou are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." Revelations 4:11

Are you 100% sure you'll go to Heaven when you die.
The most important decision you'll ever make is to trust Jesus as your peronal Saviour!

1st:Realize you are a sinner.
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23

2nd: Realize that a price must be paid for your sin.
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned." Romans 5:12
"For the wages of sin is death..." Romans 6:23 (a)
"And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:14-15

3rd: Realize that Jesus paid the price!
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

4th: Repent! (Yes, repentance IS in the Bible).
"I tell you, Nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3
"For Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." 2 Corinthians 7:10

5th: Receive Christ!
"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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:8-9
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13

Are you willing to ask Jesus to be your Saviour? Then please ask Him to save your soul in a prayer like this:
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I deserve to go to hell. I now ask you to forgive me for my sins and save me. Please take me to Heaven when I die. Thank you for saving me! Help me now to live for you. In Jesus' name I ask, Amen."
You have to mean it in your heart, just saying a prayer (without a believing heart) will not save you. In John 14:6 it says "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me."
