There is a longing inside each of us.
It is a longing that no one or nothing in this world can fill. It's a need that God created inside your heart from the very beginning. Only God can fill this longing. Only God can show you love like you have never been shown.
GOD CAN MAKE YOU WHOLE. And it begins with a relationship with Jesus. God sent Jesus as our savior. "savior" might be a new word or you. A savior is someone who recues you.
WE ALL NEED RECUING FROM THE WRONG AND IMMORAL THINGS WE DO. Which is sin. We all fall short of the standard of holiness set by God. We can try to achieve it bu being good. But that is like reaching for the unreachable. It's impossible. We can't save ourselves.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT GOD IS NOT WAITING AROUND FOR YOU TO CLEAN YOURSELF UP. that is something He will help you with.
GOD SENT JESUS TO EARTH TO SAVE US. Jesus took the judgment and punishment we deserve when He died on the cross. even while we were sinners. Jesus died for us. That is how much He loves us. And, He came back to life on three days, proving He has all authority even over death. He was sent by God. And he is with us now, even we do not see him.
JESUS' PART WAS TO TAKE THE PUNISHMENT ON THE CROSS. Your part is to believe and act on what Jesus did by admitting your sin, going to Him for forgiveness, and asking Him to be your savior, your rescuer. If you are saying "yes" to these things, then tell to Jesus. Just turn your mind and heart to Him and talk. If you need help in what to say, you can pray along as you read this.
"JESUS, I BELIVE YOU WERE SENT BU GOD TO TAKE THE PUNISHMENT I DESERVE AND BE MY SAVIOR. PLEASE FORGIVE ME AND FREE ME FROM MY SIN. COME INTO MY LIFE AND FILL THE LONGING IN MY HEART THAT I HAVE HAD FOR SO LONG. GUIDE ME TO UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW YOUR WAYS. THANK YOU FOR HEARING AND ANSWERING MY PRAYER. IN YOUR NAME I PRAY, AMEN"

Subject: Touching story for professionals
This was originally shared to me by my officemate through our internal email system. The moment I reas this, I was greatly touched by this simple story yet very meaningful. I Hope you will enjoy reading this inspirational story just as I did. And one more thing, I believe this story fits for those who are working for their family that seem like lacking time for their family to spend with.
Subject: Touching story for professionals
A small touching story mainly for professionals...
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old
son waiting for him at the door.
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?">>>
DAD: "Yeah sure, what it is?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a
thing?" the man
said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know.. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."
SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $10.00 ?"
The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can
borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march
yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being
so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behaviour."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's
questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that
$10.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to
the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said
the man.
"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's
the
$10.00 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He
yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The
man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The
little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father
grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy
replied.
"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
begged for his forgiveness.
It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should
not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with
those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that $20.00 worth of your time with someone you
love.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily
replace us in a matter of days.
But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of
their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our
family.
Believe it and you shall be blessed.
The problem with many of us is that we don't believe that God will open a
Window and pour out blessings that we won't have room to receive them. I
Dare anyone to try God. He is true to His word. God cannot lie and His
Promises are sure.
Three things will happen to you this coming week:
1) You will find favour with someone you don't expect;
2) You will be too relevant to be ignored;
3) You will encounter God and you will never remain the same again.
My prayer for you today:
The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hands that will
Send this message to others shall not labour in vain, the mouth saying Amen
Have a lovely journey of life! Trust
In the Lord with all your heart and He will never fail you because He is
AWESOME!
Watch the power of God work in your life for doing the
thing that you know He loves. Remain Blessed!!!
Have an awesome day

Jer.29:11
I believe every Christian ought to commit Jeremiah 29:11 to memory: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
As I remember, this passage was told by God to His people, the Jews, during the time when they were being captured by the Babylonians. If I were in their situation, I would feel that future and hope are no longer possible for us to achieve and our world has finally ended. They may have thought that God had forgotten about them and their situation.
So God reassured them of their future by saying "For I know the plans I have for you,plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Naiisip ko tuloy na na maaari may mga tao dito ngayon na iniisip na baka tuluyan na silang kinalimutan at pinabayaan ng Diyos. Maaaring hinaharap nila ngayon ang napakahirap na suliranin sa kanilang buhay.
Isipin na lang natin na sa kabila ng kalagayan ng mga Hudyo sa kamay ng mga taga-babylon, ang Diyos ay may nakalaan pa rin magandang plano para sa kanilang buhay.
Israel was being disciplined for their disobedience. Not because God hated them, but because God loved them.
Kung sa tingin mo ay dinidisiplina ka ni God ngayon, nais ko na alalahanin mo ito: Revelation 3:19 (ESV) "Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent."
So because God loves us and we are His child, He will do all the necessary things in our life so we can be the people He wants us to be. So next time you feel that God has forgotten you just remember Jeremiah 29:11.
