We draw near, when we accept Gods invitation to be rescued from ourselves. It is an act of surrender from trying to measure up to a Holy God. God invites us, through his son Jesus’s sacrifice on our behalf. He gave his life, so that we might live, both now, and for all of eternity. If you have not done, this, will you consider this today. Let us know, if you have and we will celebrate with you. God Bless.

”I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;“2 Timothy 4:7 NASB
Lord, may we finish the race, enduring the tests of this life. May we never give up, and never have anyone question our commitment to you, your word, and our heart to give you our all. We are your servant, created for good works. Not because we are earning anything, but because of our devotion to the one who rescued us, from the pit of Hell, through you son, Jesus Christ. May our last breath be one of hope, as we enter into your presence for all of eternity with you. Can I get an AMEN?
