Before the planners, before the peace, before anything else. Sweet mama, I am so glad you are here. Before we ever talk about calendars or quiet mornings or fighting for your family, I want to give you the one thing that changed everything for me. The peace you have been searching for is not a feeling or a strategy. He is a Person. His name is Jesus, and He has been calling your name. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. — John 3:16 Part One: Come to Jesus You do not have to clean yourself up first. You do not have to understand everything. You only have to come, just as you are. Here is how. A. Admit Admit that you are a sinner in need of a Savior. Every one of us has fallen short, and I am no exception. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. — Romans 3:23 B. Believe Believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died for your sins and rose again, and that His love for you was never based on how good you are. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. — Romans 5:8 C. Call, Confess, Commit Call on His name. Confess Him as your Lord, and receive the gift He is holding out to you right now. Commit your life to the Lord. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. — Romans 10:13 A Prayer to Pray If your heart is ready, you can pray this right where you are. There are no perfect words. He is listening. Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I am sorry for my sin, and ask for your forgiveness as I turn away from it. I ask You to be my Savior and my Lord. I receive Your forgiveness and Your love. From this day, I belong to You. In Jesus name, amen. If you prayed that and meant it, sweet mama, welcome to the family of God. All of heaven is rejoicing over you right now. ...there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
