A Heartfelt Invitation
As I reflect on a saint’s poignant words, I am reminded of the tender moment when they sought to feed the birds on a cold, gray morning. The ground was blanketed with snow, and the birds, though hungry and cold, remained wary, refusing to trust. This simple yet profound experience shed light on God’s perspective – a God who offers, plans, waits, hopes, and longs for our well-being.
The Gentle Knock of Conscience
In the stillness, a gentle voice whispers within us, urging us to acknowledge Christ’s presence in our lives. It is a call to open the door of our hearts, allowing Him to enter and guide us. This quiet prompting is an invitation to surrender, to recognize Christ’s rightful place in our lives. He has earned this right, having given His life for us.
A Simple yet Profound Decision
If uncertainty lingers about Christ’s presence in your life, or if you are unsure of your eternal destination, now is the time to take a bold step. By faith, respond to Jesus’ invitation and open the door of your life to Him. This prayer can be your starting point:
“Lord Jesus, I need You. I acknowledge You as the Son of God, the Savior of all humanity. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. Enable me to live a supernatural life beginning today. Amen.”
Certainty and Assurance
If you have asked Christ to enter your life, trusting in His promise to answer your prayer, you can be confident that He has done so. His presence is not a vague feeling, but a certainty rooted in faith.
A Call to Action
Today, consider taking a step of faith. If you are already certain of your salvation, invite someone else to pray this prayer. If uncertainty lingers, take a moment to pray it for yourself. As you do, remember God’s perspective – a God who offers, plans, waits, hopes, and longs for your good.
