God's Money Back Gaurantee

Why? Because that’s exactly how I feel about my faith in Jesus Christ as my savior. I just believe!But today, I realized something. Just because that’s how I feel, it’s not quite so easy for everyone else to “just believe”…especially if they don’t know why.

Today, a childhood friend of about 30 years shared some things that were going on in his life. He was extremely transparent…the kind of heartfelt authenticity that is so rare in the age of self-promotion and personal brand management.

Today’s conversation touched on the 3rd rail of politically correct topics…religion and God. Throughout the years he and I have had multiple conversations on the subject of God…mainly me sharing my faith in Jesus.

He is an extremely bright young man and the irony is his “God-given” intellectual talent may be one of his greatest stumbling blocks to seeing who he is in light of his Divine Creator.

Today’s discussion though was different. The Holy Spirit moved on me with so much love and compassion for my friend and where he was. Like a father would his own child I just wanted to help him and make it all better.

But I am woefully inadequate to touch his heart…what he needed was the personal touch that only Jesus can give. So I sat there wondering “how can I help him experience Jesus right now?” So I decided to write him a blog…he promised me he would read it today.

I hold your life in my hands and nothing can harm you, not even your rebellion against me. For I know you will come home and I will keep you afloat in your journey. Though the devil would like to destroy your life and kill you, I wait patiently…coming up with every way possible to shower you with my love and blessings when you return to me.

You are so wonderfully made and I am pleased with you and just so proud of you.

Though you don’t know it, I knit you together so carefully, I delivered you out of your mother’s womb and gave you your first breath.

Don’t let others who have never met me or who choose not to know me define our relationship. I promise you, I am not distant or angry. In fact the opposite is true. There is no one, absolutely no one who can love you like I can if you let me. I literally died to express my love to you when I sent my son Jesus to die on the Cross so I could have this conversation with you.

It truly is my desire to lavish you in my love. I simply want to care for you. Think about it…when you have a child, don’t you plan to just enjoy their life and love them? That’s how I am too…with you…you personally. You can’t even imagine what a treasure you are. Just let me show you.

But I simply need one thing from you. I need to you seek me. Not casually, but with everything in you. Seek me with your whole heart.

If you will turn to me and cry out to me, I will reveal to you myself. You can bring any question, doubt, fear, or hurt you’ve ever had. You can say whatever you want and ask me anything. But, if you do I will require one thing of you, no make that two things.

The best part is you have a money back guarantee…If after truly opening yourself to Me, asking Me to help you, asking Me to reveal myself to you, if after doing that you don’t like what you get you can always walk away and go back to what you know.

If everything you’ve ever tried has led you to where you are now and it’s not where you want to be, why don’t you try something that you have never tried before? Give me shot. If I fail you, simply return to what you know.

I am your Father and I love you…I am for you and not against you…Jesus allows you to come to me clean and I do not see any of your faults or sins. Simply come home son, come home and be my child!

With Love,

Your Heavenly Father.”
