Poem to a Friend
You are so very special to me
More than words can say
And I wanted to let you know
In a very special way.
God had me think about you
In a troubling kind of way
He made me think of how I would feel
If He took you away.
I became upset just thinking
What kind of friend I must be
That I didn't even know
Where you would spend eternity.
The thoughts of you spending eternity in Heaven
Were as wonderful as can be
But the thoughts of you spending it in the fires of Hell
Pierced my heart and hurt me deeply.
Why do I care
Which place you will go to?
Because God loves you, Jesus loves you
And I love you too!
Back in the beginning
God had a relationship with Adam and Eve
Which was broken when they disobeyed God
Listening to the serpent, who came there to deceive!
Ever since that time
That Adam and Eve lived upon the earth
They brought forth children
Each having a sinful nature from birth.
Because we have all sinned against God
And are separated from Him
We will die and then be judged
Our future is dark, not even dim.
But God loved us, oh, so much
He didn't want us to live eternally in Hell
But how could He show us how much he cared
And wanted us to be in Heaven with Him to dwell?
God sent Jesus, His one and only Son
To die and suffer on the cross at Calvary
To live with Him eternally in Heaven
God's free gift for you and me.
Like any gift you have to accept it
For it to really become yours
Jesus is the only way to get to Heaven
There are no other doors.
Don't get caught up in religion
Or all types of denominations too
It's a relationship that God wants
Just between God and you.
We can talk to God through our prayers
When we pray in Jesus name
When we thank and praise God for all things
Our relationship will grow deeper and will not stay the same.
God speaks to us through His word, the Holy Bible
That is why it is important that we read it every day
It feeds and nourishes us spiritually
And guides us to live and do things God's way.
God wants to be #1 in our lives
He made that quite clear in His commandment #1
We break God's law by battling our will against His will
And we feel the battle for our will must be won!
If you have not already repented
And trusted in Jesus to be your Savior and Lord
Jesus' return to earth is near
Wasting precious time you cannot afford.
If Jesus is already Savior and Lord of your life
Then in God's "book of life" your name will be there
But if He is not or you are not sure
Then just pray the following prayer.
"Dear God,
I know that I have broken Your law
And I'm sorry I sinned against You.
Please forgive my sins.
Thank you that Jesus suffered on the cross
In my place. I now accept Jesus into my life
And place my trust in Him
As my Savior and Lord.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen."
Love your friend,
If you prayed this prayer then we would like to pray for you and your new life in
Christ. We would also we would like to send you a booklet for new Christians that will help you in your new walk with Jesus Christ.
Your name will not be placed on a mailing list and you will not be asked for money.
