It’s Not Automatic

by Vonette Bright

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.Revelations 3:20

You might be someone who can quote verses from the Bible.  You may even know that “Jesus died to save us from our sins..” But can you recall making a decision to invite Jesus into your heart?

That was Jennifer’s problem. She was a minister’s granddaughter living in a Christian home. So, she considered herself to be a Christian.  But a trip with her church’s high school youth group challenged her ‘faith’.  She learned being reared in a Christian home or related to a minister did not automatically take away her sin.  Jennifer needed to make the decision to choose God’s offer.  And so she did.  One starry night, author Jennifer Thomas invited Jesus to come into her heart.

Friend, are you sure Jesus Christ is in your life?  If not, make sure by inviting Him in right now.
