From the time we are born, we begin our journey home. God is calling us. God is calling us to have a loving relationship with him so that we will know how to have a loving relationship with others. God is our spiritual parent from birth. GOD IS LOVE!
We grow up from an infant not knowing anything but love, and the need for nurturing and food. We grow into adolescence where we begin to take in life as we see it and as we learn it. Life teaches us good and evil things. From adolescence into adulthood we shape our life through making decisions. God is calling us. It is important for us to heed God’s call because He knows what is best for me and you. Some never respond to God’s call, some respond immediately, some respond but hesitate, some respond and then turn away, but all of us are being called to God by God. It is up to us to make the choice to listen to God’s call for us.

He is calling me now. He wants me to enjoy life and be happy. He is calling you now. He wants you to enjoy life and be happy. He wants us to know that it is not enough to simply enjoy life and be happy though. God wants us to know that we have a soul that is spirit; a soul that will live on after the body dies. God wants us to realize that the soul and the body were created by Him to work together as one in the same spirit to be able to communicate with Him.

WHY
God loves us like His children and wants to be able to help us when we need Him. The only way to communicate with God is in spirit and in truth. God wants us to know that just like we came into the world, as an infant needing to be taken care of without any knowledge or sense of being in control of anything, we will leave this world.

One thing for the living which is a constant is “facing the past is always harder than moving into the future,�?Psalms 139:8 says, “If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.�?Sometimes in life we feel like we are in heaven and then other times we feel like we are in hell. All of the time, God is with us if we abide in Him and allow Him to abide in us. I want everyone to know that God does not leave us; we leave God, but we can always come back home.

Whatever your past, God will meet you at the door when you come back home to Him and He will bless you. The Bible says, in Luke 11:10 “For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.�?The book of Revelation 3:20 says “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.�?If you come to God, sup with Him and learn of Him and how to communicate with Him, He will bless you. With God’s blessing you can put the past behind you and never look back at it the same way. The Bible says, in the book of Luke 9:62, “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.�?God will bless you never to look back at your past again. This kind of blessing is not automatic, you have to accept it. It’s a gift just for you.

You have to want a relationship with God to really experience God’s love, just like you would have to want a relationship with your loved one to experience their love. The difference is, you don’t have to work for God’s love, you just have to accept it. God’s love is all that you need.

God’s spirit is gentle, warm, loving and toward His children. Just like any natural parent would be toward their child. Like a parent, God simply wants to GIVE you good things because you are His child. Like a parent, God has rules to live by that His children must obey or they have to leave the house. Unlike some parent’s though, if you have left the house and you want to come home, you are always welcome back in God’s house, this is called repentance. Some natural parents refuse to allow his or her child to come back home. God’s love is not like that, it is sooooo much better. Choose today to accept God and his love for you. He is calling you right now, just listen. I have heard Him and I have made my choice to love God and accept His gift of eternal life for my spirit soul. Please search your heart and you will see god is Calling your name as well

Jesus said "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
"If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." (John 3:3-6; 12-19)

"But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:4-10)

"But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:22-23)
