I Said a Prayer for You Today

I said a prayer for you today

and I know God must have heard,

I felt the answer in my heart

although He spoke no word. 

I didn't ask for wealth or fame -

I knew you wouldn't mind -

I asked Him to send treasures

of a far more lasting kind.

I asked that He be near you

at the start of each new day,

To grant you health and blessings

and friends to share your way.

I asked for happiness for you

in all things great and small;

But it was for His loving care

I prayed for the most of all!

Poem by: Mattias Kroon

I want to see the light in your eyes

I want to feel the touch from the skies

When heaven kisses earth,

the angels are singing on the clouds.

When the rain is pouring down,

His spirit will fill your empty soul.

Don't flee from your call to life

and don't despise heavenly wisdom.

Amazing grace from above, I acknowledge

I'm depending of it.

Oh, highly rewarded rose of risen knowledge,

hear my wish.

When a mother kisses her baby,

the baby will remember it forever.

Should we forget an older generation's kiss to a younger's?

No, and I'm a lover of nature.

Yes, I'm a poet and a preacher.

Yes, I want to bring out the good news!

Getting To Know Jesus
How can I get to know Jesus?
This is undoubtedly the most important question you'll ever ask. The great news is that there is an answer because God already knows you personally and intimately, and he wants you to know him too. He created you as a person of great worth, and he loves you deeply. Now maybe your asking, " If God loves people so much, why are they so far from him?" The answer is a little three-letter word - sin. When we do what we know is wrong, when we don't do what we know is right,when we ignore or reject God, we sin. Sin keeps us from getting close to God- but God provides a way to come back to him. Jesus is the way!

Who is Jesus?
Jesus is God's Son. Because sin came into the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. God asked Jesus to come to make things right again. Jesus was born ( just about 2,000 years ago), and he lived in the part of the world called Palestine. When he was about thirty years old, he began to preach and heal. Just a few years later he was nailed to a cross to die. When people who loved him went to his grave three days after he died, Jesus' body wasn't there. He had come back to life, just as he said he would.

Why did Jesus have to die?
It was all part of God's plan to make right what had become so wrong because of sin. You see, we all deserve to be punished. God loves us so much he sent Jesus to take our punishment. Because of Jesus we can know for sure that God welcomes us into his loving arms- right now and when we die and go to be with him.

Where is Jesus now?
Jesus is in heaven with his Father. But he has not left us alone here on earth. He sent the Holy Spirit to live with is- to make us strong when we feel like giving up, to help us to care about other people when we sometimes don't feel like it, to tell us that Jesus will always love us.

Does God love me? Do I matter to him?
The answer is Jesus. God experienced what it is like to be a human being. Jesus knows how we feel- and he loves you more than you can imagine. He loves you when you cry and when you laugh;when you argue with a friend or when you've had a bad day. He loves you so much that he died for you- but he isn't still dead. He is alive, and he is loving you and watching over you every day.

Will Jesus ever stop loving me?
No! There will be times when you wonder if Jesus is really real. There will be times when you wonder if he really loves you. There will be times when you do things that you shouldn't- when you act mean to someone you love or let someone down. But when you pray and tell Jesus that you know you've done wrong and you want to do better- you can be sure that he will never let you down. He will love you your whole life long, and you will live with him forever.

How do I know I'm a Christian?
There are many signs. When you love Jesus with all the love you can give, when you know deep down that Jesus loves you, when you  believe that he died to forgive your sins, when you want to live for Jesus- those are good signs that help you know you are a Christian. Sure, your going to fail sometimes. But, you see, God's love for you is so great that it covers those times when you fail. He sees deep into your heart. He knows your desire to live for him, and he loves YOU.
