Hello, and welcome!
I hope you enjoyed your Easter and while it is still in your memory (and maybe you, like me, still have an Easter egg or two to enjoy - I like mine with a cup of tea!) I'd like to ask you a question if you don't mind.
Did Easter used to mean something spiritual to you, but now it's mainly just chocolate and a bank holiday break from routine?
If that strikes a chord, either with you (or a loved one, you could pass this message onto!) I want to tell you this:
Though you may have given up on God, He has not given up on you!
I remember reading a C.S. Lewis book where he said that most people who stop believing in God don't do so after carefully considered reasoning. They usually just stop giving Him any time and thought and simply drift into that state of mind.
I am one of a team of readers at my church and at the service of the Resurrection last Saturday my reading was from the Prophet Isaiah. The words that jumped out at me to pass onto you were:
"Seek the Lord while He is still to be found, call to Him while He is still near." Isaiah 55:6
As I say in my book 9 Days to Heaven (see below for details) if you feel that something is missing in your life and you are not close to Him, that something is God. It is impossible to feel fulfilled if He is not a part of your life. When I say God I am speaking of the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
If you want to turn back here is a quick prayer to make the first step:
"Dear Heavenly Father, I am sorry that I've been so caught up in my life that I have ignored You. Please forgive me and help me to move closer to You again. I ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen."
Finally, I want to tell you that God loves you and He wants you to love Him.
Wishing you a belated but heartfelt, Happy Easter. Let me know how you get on with this prayer.
God bless,
