Want to feel like you belong?
Do you ever feel like you don't belong?

All of us have that bad feeling sometimes. Maybe you don't feel like you belong at school. There may be some girls in your class that seem more popular than you. They hang out together at school and do fun things together. Whenever you see them you may think to yourself, "I wish I could be friends with them. I wish they would accept me. I wish I belonged with them."

As sad and lonely as you may feel sometimes there is Somebody out there who wants to be your best friend. He is the most awesome Person in the whole universe! He is the most popular Person in all of history! His name is Jesus Christ!

Now you may be thinking to yourself, "Why would Jesus want to be my best friend?" There is a simple answer. It is an awesome story that just happens to be true.

Thousands of years ago Jesus made humanity. He created the world and everything in it. He then made Adam and Eve. Jesus became their best friend. They talked all the time! There were no secrets, no selfishness and no problems! But then one day Adam and Eve disobeyed Jesus and their friendship was broken.

Ever since then Jesus has been unable to make friends with mankind again. Sin (selfishness and disobedience) has stood in the way. This broke Jesus' heart. He loves us and wanted to be best friends with us again but couldn't because of the sin.

So 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ, God himself, came to this earth and became a man (a God-man actually). He lived a perfect life. He died a horrible death·on purpose. Jesus died to suffer for all of the selfish and sinful acts every human has committed. He was innocent but he died in our place for our sins·so that he could be friends with us again!

And the story gets even better. He didn't stay dead. Three days later he rose again from the dead and proved that he was God! Now he is asking you to be his friend forever. He said it this way in the Bible,

"For God so loved the world (that's you and me) that he gave his one and only Son (that's Jesus Christ when he died on the cross), that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 '

What does this mean? This means that if you simply believe that Jesus died for your selfishness and sins and trust in him to forgive you that he will give you as a free gift eternal life in heaven and that you can be best friends with him forever!

Going to heaven is not by being a good person. It is by trusting in the only truly good person who ever lived·Jesus Christ.

Won't you trust in him right now? If you do you just became friends with someone who will never ever hurt you or stab you in the back. He is your Friend forever. You belong with Him!

God's free gift to you

To receive God's free gift, all you have to do is accept that you are a sinner and Jesus Christ's death on the cross was for your sins. Believe in Him with your whole heart. You can ask Him right now. Here is a sample prayer:

Dear Father God,
       I know I have sinned and that my sin separates me from Your holiness. I believe Your Son, Jesus died in my place-taking the burden of my sins, paying for the sins I have committed or ever will commit. I am asking for Your forgiveness and accept Jesus as my Savior. Thank you for saving me from judgment. Thank you for allowing me to belong with You. Please help me live my life, from this day forth, as Your child.
       In Jesus Name I pray,
      Amen

If you said this prayer, or something like it, with sincerity.you have just become part of God's family! Mark today's date. This is your spiritual birthday!

Now, it is important to get some support in your new life.

Tell someone about your new life in Jesus. Tell your Mom or Dad. Tell another Christian (us!)
Talk to God everyday about everything. Even the mistakes you make.Pray for yourself and others.
Get your own copy of the Holy Bible and read it every day. If you do not have and are unable to get a Bible, please let us know and we shall send you one (after your parents read and then sign the consent form from the privacy statement).
Find a church that teaches the Bible and attend services regularly. Get involved in a youth group at church not just for social but to learn more of God.
Seek out other Christians in your school and develop new friendships.
Share with others your love of Jesus.
Do not let others or other things steal your love of Jesus or your faith in Him. He will never leave you nor forsake you!
