Meeting # 163 April 04/2009
Our Heavenly Savior,
Tonight I wanted to share with my friends the five “R’s” of salvation.
These are the five “R’s” to being Reborn in Christ.
Repentance: repentance is the first step, a change of mind that results in change of conduct. Asking you to forgive us Lord and truly meaningfully admit our wrong doings.
Recall: recall from our memory all the times that God has came through for us, always remembering all we have to be thankful for. God always comes through for you in tough times and in good times, he is always with you.
Reflect: reflect on the power from Heaven. All of us humans can become emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained; even exhausted before some of us can understand God’s strength is sufficient for us. Take a piece of paper and write down all that God has done for you, so you can reflect often on God’s goodness and what it has meant for you.
Remember: remember God’s promises. The books of Psalms show the awesome promises of protection, peace, and help during troubles. God Cares about you personally.
Resolve: Resolve to trust God rather than give in to the despair that threatened to overwhelm, listen to your heart, and not the advice of people who may not have your best interest in mind.
Jesus Christ always has your best interest in mind.
Give us all strength to always trust in your plan God.
Let us all repent for our past, and when times get rough, let us all recall our past with you Jesus. Let us all reflect on our blessings, even keep a diary or written record of our lives. Allow us all remember, and never forget your wonderful promises, of a prepared place for us all in Heaven and a life ever- lasting with him. God also give us assurance and resolve that when we speak to you, that you will always be there for us, and teach us to trust in only you, to live our daily lives.
Oh wonderful father, creator of the Stars, how I love thee. My heart is filled with Joy and my cup over runs, surely happiness and goodness will be here with me on this Earth, and I shall dwell with Christ of Nazarene, in my prepared place in Heaven forever.
Amen
