Love Worth Finding 25 Pack

Psychologists have long known that every person has two great longings and inward needs. The first is to be loved, and the second is to love. But when pressures and heartaches come into our lives, many give up any hope of ever finding love. The tragedy is that we often look in the wrong places to fill this deep, deep need and longing. Some substitute lust for love. Others pursue material things or superficial relationships-all in the futile attempt to fill a God-shaped vacuum in the human heart. But there is good news! There is a love worth finding and a love worth sharing. The Bible says, "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" (John 3:16). On the cross of Christ, God's mighty love was revealed and offered unconditionally to all who would be saved. Do you long to know this mighty love? Then I need to ask you the most important question you'll ever be asked: Do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God loves you, that your sins are forgiven, and that you are saved and on your way to heaven? The great news is, you can know! Let me share with you how to discover the greatest love worth finding. Admit Your Sin. First, you must admit that you are a sinner. The Bible says, "There is none righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10). "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). It is our sin that separates us from God and from fulfilling our deepest needs and longings. Sin is an offense against God that carries a serious penalty. According to Romans 6:23, "The wages of sin is death [eternal separation from the love and mercy of God]." Abandon Your Efforts. Second, you must abandon any efforts to save yourself. If we could save ourselves, Jesus' death would have been unnecessary! Even "getting religion" cannot get you to heaven. The Bible says it is "not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His [God's] mercy He saved us" (Titus 3:5). Salvation is by God's grace, "not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). Acknowledge Christ's Payment. What you cannot do for yourself, Jesus Christ has done for you! "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). He died on the cross for you, and then rose from the dead to prove that His payment was acceptable to God. But you must acknowledge and believe this fact. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31). Accept Christ as Your Savior. Salvation is God's gift to you. "The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). When someone offers you a priceless gift, the wisest thing you can do is accept it! This very moment, you can receive Christ's gift of salvation by sincerely praying this simple prayer from your heart: Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I know that You love me and want to save me. Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, who died on the cross to pay for my sins. I believe God raised You from the dead. I now turn from my sin and, by faith, receive You as my personal Lord and Savior. Come into my heart, forgive my sins, and save me, Lord Jesus. In Your name I pray. Amen. Friend, if you have not yet made a decision for Christ, I urge you to receive Him today. You'll be eternally glad to know the love worth finding!

Los psicOlogos desde hace mucho tiempo han tenido conocimiento de que cada persona tiene un gran anhelo y una gran necesidad interna. El anhelo de ser amado, y la necesidad de amar. Pero cuando las presiones y aflicciones llegan a nuestras vidas, muchos pierden toda esperanza de encontrar algUn dIa el amor. La tragedia es que frecuentemente buscamos llenar esta profunda necesidad y este profundo anhelo, en los lugares equivocados. Algunos substituyen la lujuria por el amor, otros persiguen el materialismo o las relaciones superficiales; todo con el inUtil intento de llenar el vacIo creado por Dios en el corazOn humano. Pero le tenemos buenas noticias! Existe un amor que vale la pena encontrar y un amor que vale la pena compartir. La Biblia dice: "Porque de tal manera amO Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigEnito, para que todo aquel que en El cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna" (Juan 3:16). Sobre la cruz de Cristo, el gran amor de Dios fue revelado y ofrecido incondicionalmente a todo aquel que desee la salvaciOn. Anhela usted conocer este gran amor? Entonces necesito hacerle la pregunta mAs importante que jamAs se le harA. Sabe sin lugar a dudas que Dios le ama, que sus pecados han sido perdonados, y que usted es salvo y va en camino al cielo? La maravillosa noticia es, que sI puede saberlo! PermItame compartir con usted cOmo descubrir el amor mAs grande, el amor que vale. Admita Su Pecado--Usted debe admitir que es un pecador. La Biblia dice: "No hay justo, ni aun uno" (Romanos 3:10). "Por cuanto todos pecaron, y estAn destituidos de la gloria de Dios" (Romanos 3:23). Es nuestro pecado lo que nos separa de Dios y nos impide satisfacer nuestros anhelos y necesidades mAs Intimas. SegUn Romanos 6:23, el pecado es un delito contra Dios que conlleva un serio castigo: "Porque la paga del pecado es muerte (eterna separaciOn del amor y misericordia de Dios)." Abandone Sus Propios Esfuerzos--Usted debe abandonar todo esfuerzo de tratar de salvarse a sI mismo. Si pudiEramos salvarnos a nosotros mismos, la muerte de JesUs habrIa sido en vano! Inclusive "el comportarse religiosamente" no lo puede salvar. La Biblia dice que "nos salvO (Dios), no por obras de justicia que nosotros hubiEramos hecho, sino por su misericordia" (Tito 3:5). La salvaciOn es por la gracia de Dios, "no por obras, para que nadie se glorIe" (Efesios 2:8-9). Admita el Sacrificio de Cristo--Lo que usted no puede hacer por sI mismo, Jesucristo lo ha hecho por usted! "Mas Dios muestra su amor para con nosotros, en que siendo aUn pecadores, Cristo muriO por nosotros" (Romanos 5:8). El muriO en la cruz por usted, y resucitO de entre los muertos para demostrar que su sacrificio o pago fue aceptado por Dios. Mas usted debe reconocer y creer en este hecho. "Cree en el SeNor Jesucristo, y serAs salvo" (Hechos 16:31). Acepte a Jesucristo como Su Salvador--La salvaciOn es el regalo de Dios para usted. "La dAdiva de Dios es vida eterna en Cristo JesUs SeNor nuestro" (Romanos 6:23). Cuando alguien le ofrece un regalo invaluable, lo mAs sabio de su parte es aceptarlo! En este mismo momento, usted puede recibir el regalo de la salvaciOn, que Cristo le ofrece, al orar sinceramente esta simple oraciOn de corazOn: Amado Dios, yo sE que soy un pecador, sE que TU me amas y deseas salvarme. JesUs, yo creo que TU eres el Hijo de Dios, quien muriO en la cruz para pagar por mis pecados. Creo que Dios te levantO de entre los muertos. Ahora me alejo de mis pecados y por medio de la fe, te recibo como mi Salvador y SeNor personal. Entra en mi corazOn, perdona mis pecados y sAlvame, SeNor JesUs. En tu nombre oro. AmEn. Amigo, si usted no ha tomado aUn la decisiOn de recibir a Cristo, le ruego que lo haga hoy. Usted estarA eternamente agradecido de conocer el amor que vale!

Researcher and thought leader Dr. Brené Brown offers a powerful new vision in Daring Greatly that encourages us to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly and courageously. 'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly' -Theodore Roosevelt Every time we are introduced to someone new, try to be creative, or start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - we strive to appear perfect. Challenging everything we think we know about vulnerability, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that vulnerability is in fact a strength, and when we shut ourselves off from revealing our true selves we grow distanced from the things that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social research, across the home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly. 'Brilliantly insightful. I can't stop thinking about this book' -Gretchen Rubin Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. Her groundbreaking work was featured on Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday, NPR, and CNN. Her TED talk is one of the most watched TED talks of all time. Brené is also the author of The Gifts of Imperfection and I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't).
