If you are like me you have been in church your whole life, including the nine months prior to your birth. My dad was a pastor and currently is a mission leader, so I can say I heard the message more than once. It's easy so very easy to get tired of it hearing it. You sit down in church or a youth conference and think here we go again. We tune it out, ignore the speaker and go with our lives. After all its the same old story its out dated, and I've heard it a thousand times. Religion may work for some people but its not for me. Sound familiar? If you've grow up in church you may know how this feels. The same old story gets old. We get used to hearing it so much that the power of the message becomes not all that moving. But God should move our hearts, shouldn't he? Of course but in order to do that our heart needs to be open to him. So I'm going to go ahead and be one of the many voices you've heard and tell you God wants you. I know you know Christ died on the cross for you, but stop and think for a moment. CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!!!! And by died I mean beaten, flogged, crucified, and stabbed with a spear die. How many people do you know did that for you? One, Jesus Christ to be exact. So to those of you who have heard this message a thousand times please know he died for you and he loves. He's waiting for you.
