today's service, was really, really, really good. God has a place in that heart of mine, and He definitely sits on the throne in my life. finally, i feel like all the burdens i've carried since the school term started, have all suddenly disappeared, and i know it's the work of God. dont ask me how i know it, i just do. He has done so many wonderful things in my life, since i came to know Him. and, He really is the king of kings and the lord of lords. i know, even if everything comes crashing down on me, He will always be there, for me.
today, it set me thinking. what actually stops people from coming to church, what actually stops people from coming to know Him? various reasons i guess, but one current wish on my wishlist, is to see my close friends get saved, and see them believe in Him. i'm working on it, i'm ready to share with them. i know i'm not the one who will make them believe, it is He, the holy one, the mighty one, who will work in them.
i suddenly remembered last year, on the 12th of february, a speaker (i cant exactly remember who) came to tell us how to share Jesus without fear, and whoever is here, if you have the time, please do read on.
think of it this way, here, i have seven bible verses to share with you. please dont take it as a waste of time, do read on. (:

romans 6:23"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."believing in him, brings eternal life.

5.
romans 10:9-11" That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess you are saved. As the Scripture says, 'Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.' "

2 corinthians 5:15"And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.7.
