Why Was I Born?

                                 Why Was I Born?

   When all seems lost and you are at your wits end, God is there. 
He loves you and longs to be your "Go to place." He will welcome you with open arms. He turns NO ONE away. "ALL who call upon the Lord SHALL be saved."
   
   Our arch enemy, the devil, lies and afflicts every evil he can on all people because we're all made in God's image. 
   Because all life comes FROM God, all men seek to find and worship their perception of God. 
                     
                           The Problem
    The devil is "El Diablo" the Deceiver. He speaks lies. (lIKE) "God is Ra the sun God. Or God is "Hedon, God of pleasure."  He places scales over people's eyes to believe money, fame or power and authority are what life is all about. There are many false gods that people worship. All are dumb idols that help no one. 
   All lead to death. That death being eternal separation from God. 

                           The Answer - JESUS CHRIST
    I know because I met Him 49 years ago. He is "Emmanuelle" (God Who came in the flesh- God with us). Jesus said, "I and the Father ARE ONE, He who has seen Me has seen the Father."
    He also said, "I AM THE WAY (The ONLY way to God) NO ONE comes to God except through Me." 
   And "There is NO OTHER name under heaven given among men whereby you must be saved."

   How did I meet God? I asked Him "Why was I born?" I realized I was living life for all the pleasure I could find. I had a 1933 Ford supercharged hot rod, a 1960 Thunderbird, a 1968 Pontiac Firebird, a fast motorcyle, a Cessna airplane, a new ram air parachute, women and beer. Thought pleasure was what life was all about.

   But one day in my apartment, I saw all I had could not satisfy me. The more I got the less it satisfied me. So I looked up to heaven, and said, "God, what's wrong with this picture? If all I've got won't satisfy me, what will? WHY WAS I BORN?
   I literally shook my fist at God and said, "God I want an answer and I'm not letting go of you until I get one."

   God answered and revealed His heart-His Love for me-The Savior of the World, His Son Jesus.
   Since then, He has kept me alive through 2000 parachute jumps, healed me many times from life threatening diseases, and protected me from accidents through countless  miles traveled.
   He is God Who provides, protects, guides and directs. He's been faithful Who called me and shown me many miracles. 
   
   Do you need an answer from God? Then remember this!
JESUS IS GOD. HE IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD. THERE IS NO OTHER.
   Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. He said "My Spirit will not always strive with man."
   He's calling you. Talk to Him. He said, "Though your sins be as scarlet, yet you shall be as white as snow." He hears your heart and every word you speak to Him. He gives Life eternal and His mercies are renewed every morning. GOD LOVES YOU.
