----HOW TO USE OUR TIME ~~ / ~ JESUS IS AS CLOSE AS THE MENTION OF HIS NAME~~
----(Please Read/ - Ephesians 5:6-21)--

--"Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
--"Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light."
---(vs / 6,7,8)

~~~The way we use our time reveals our values and priorities. Ephesians 5:16 encourages us to make the most of our time. Here are ways to do this:

**Receive Christ as Savior. The only way you can live a life of truth, meaning, and abundance is by personally knowing Jesus Christ.

**Pray. The greatest timesaver is prayer. Jesus recognized that His most valuable and productive use of time occurred when He was alone with the Father. As you seek God’s will, prayer acts as a compass in your life.

**Discover God’s plan for you, and live accordingly. A believer who knowingly sins or walks outside of God’s will can expect to be unproductive and unfulfilled. You can’t maximize your effectiveness if you’re struggling against God or have become hardened to His voice.

**Write a mission statement for your life. Ask the Lord about His desires for you, and think about how you can use the rest of your earthly life to bring Him glory. If you pray for God’s guidance and for ears to hear His voice, you’ll find He will make the most of your time. ~~
--IN TOUCH~~
[Friend, Jesus loves you with an everlasting love. No matter what sin you have committed. No matter what thoughts you think that are unkind. God can change you. Jesus died on the Cross to pay your sin-debt. But in order to receive that gift you must ask Him to come into your heart. Believe that Jesus is Lord, Confess you sins, and turn in the opposite direction. When we head toward sin, the devil is leading us, not our Lord. God can not be tempted by evil nor does He tempt anyone. Please, turn to Jesus and He will help you get right with Him. He doesn't have the answer, He is the answer to our sin problem. We all are sinners. Please continue reading. ~~]

---COME TO THE ONE WHO CAN MAKE YOU NEW~~

~~Jesus is the only one who can meet your deepest needs--He is the bread of life, the light of the world and the one who bore your sin so that you can be forgiven. If you're not sure that you belong to Him, you can be sure. God calls you to turn away from sin and to receive Jesus Christ by faith as your Lord and Savior. You can do that right now, wherever you are. You'll begin a relationship with God, and He promises that you will be forgiven and become a completely new person. ~~
~~~~~~~~~~~
**START BY SIMPLY TALKING TO GOD~~
-You can pray a prayer like this: (or in your own words)
~~"Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I'm sorry for my sin. I want to turn from my sin. Please forgive me. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son; I believe He died on the cross for my sin and You raised Him to life. I want Him to come into my heart and take control of my life. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. In Jesus' Name. amen."
