God is saying to you, \u201cI have a plan for you, and it will come to pass in the Name of Jesus.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/97\/EPH.3.17-19.MSG\">Ephesians 3:<sup>17-19<\/sup><\/a> <em>\u201cI pray that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in&#8230; and that you\u2019ll be able to feel and understand how long, wide, deep, and high his love really is, and to experience this love for yourselves<\/em>&#8230;\u201d (MSG\/LB).<\/p>\n<p>You are not hopeless. You are not helpless. You are not unworthy. You are not too old. You are not too young. You are not too bad, and guess what? You are not too good. God still wants to have a relationship with you. When I gave my life to Jesus, I was at a meeting in University. The altar call was made but I didn&#8217;t come out. As the man who was ministering was about to close the service, he stopped and said that God was saying, \u201cWho shall go for us? Who shall we send?\u201d Then he raised the song, <em>Here I am, Send Me. Here I am; send me. As the Lord needs somebody, here I am; send me<\/em>. He closed the service, everybody went home, and I could not get up from where I was. I was in tears, weeping and committing my life to God. That was how I got saved.<\/p>\n<p>God gave me a personal altar call, and I said to God, \u201cHere I am, send me.\u201d And today, I still preaching the Gospel of Jesus as He sends me. You don&#8217;t know what God will do in your life. You don&#8217;t know where God will take you, yield your heart to Him. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/97\/PSA.34.8.MSG\">Psalm 34:<sup>8<\/sup><\/a> \u201c<em>Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see\u2014how good\u00a0God\u00a0is. Blessed are you who run to him<\/em>.\u201d (MSG). Will you run to God today? With everything in life, the more you realize the benefits, the better it gets. You may have a brand-new car, but if you don&#8217;t know the benefits, you can\u2019t enjoy it. With your career, marriage, and life it is the same thing. Guess what? With God, it is the same thing. When you realize the benefits of walking with God, you enjoy God more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/97\/LAM.5.20-21.MSG\">Lamentations 5:<sup>21<\/sup><\/a> \u201c<em>Bring us back to you, God\u2014we\u2019re ready to come back. Give us a fresh start<\/em>.\u201d (MSG). Do you want a fresh start? When you commit to opening your heart to God in your career, marriage, business, and education, God gives you a new perspective. You begin to see things differently. He gives you new confidence. You face life with more gusto. And He gives you a new connection. You are never alone. God is with you, helping and strengthening you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Prayer<\/strong>: Father, bring me back to You, give me a fresh start in every area, in Jesus Name.
