Hi! What is the ultimate goal of your life? Money? Success?  What about peace? Joy? Love? Prepare Right is all about helping you be successful throughout your career. But we wouldn't be telling you the truth if we thought that success was just about making money or being at the top of your profession. Success also means: peace, joy, love, and hope. Knowing that there is a greater purpose in life than accumulating things or in making more money. Having an assurance that God is with you throughout your life, and that your life has meaning.  You will never have true success until you have eternal peace. People don't need religion; people need a relationship with our Creator. And that means you must have a personal relationship with God, through His Son, Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us (John chapter 3, verses 16 through 18): "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 of the only begotten Son of God..." Why is this an encouraging word? Because now we have hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Mankind could not to go God: God had to reach down to us. God the Father gave the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, to die a horrible death for us on a Roman cross, to pay for our sins. By accepting this gift and giving your life over to Christ, you now have received the gift of an abundant, eternal relationship with God.  For those who know Jesus Christ as their personal savior, the Bible tell us (Romans chapter 8, verses 38 and 39): "For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Jesus has promised us that until that time when He comes back to earth to get His children, He has left His Holy Spirit to guide us and comfort us throughout all of life. Jesus said "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him; for He dwells in you, and shall be in you." Once you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, God's Holy Spirit will live inside you to comfort you and guide you throughout your life, an indescribable presence of God's love and peace given to you. His Holy Spirit within you is the assurance that nothing can separate you from the love of God through Jesus Christ. Will we continue to have troubles in our life? Yes. Pain? Yes. Financial problems? Yes. Heartaches? Yes. But now we are not alone. We are forgiven. We can give our troubles, our pain, our financial problems, our heartaches to the God of the Universe, Who loves you very much. And you can know that love personally, through His son, Jesus Christ. This is the ultimate word of encouragement. May God bless you in every area of your life!
