i am a really horrible person: so horrible, there's nothing good that I deserve, except to die, and be separated from God forever. Eternally punished. No matter what I did, I always fell short; there was nothing that could save me. I could never be perfect enough.
But there was someone that loved me in spite of my faults.
not only does he love me, but he loved me even when i cursed him, betrayed him, and did things that hurt him.
Not only did he love me, but he forgave me of all the things I ever did. He gave me the choice to repent, to say, "I don't want to do this anymore. I give it up."
He gave me someone to believe in, someone who believed in me. Someone who took upon himself all of the punishment that I deserved. And he did it all because he loved me, and not because of anything that I ever did or said. The eternal punishment that waited for me, he put upon himself, and he put on him the very wretchedness that I was: he became sin for me. He took my place, and died on a cross: a public display of shame and physical torture, a spiritual agony and separation that I will never understand.
And now, I give him my life, and I am no longer my own. He rules, he reigns, he is Lord of my life. It's not me. It's him--It's Jesus!
And what makes it so great, is that now I have peace with God. Jesus made a way for me, a way to eternal life with God. And he does the same for you.

Is he the Lord of your life?
Is He your savior?
Have you repented, and believed in him, the Son of God?
How can I get peace with God?
