What else makes Geoff
tick?
Okay, what really matters to me? At the core of my heart is a
growing love and
appreciation for God, and Jesus Christ who came to this
earth as God in the flesh,
"Emmanuel" - literally "God
with us", and to pay an
incredible personal price to
restore our relationship with God. What we
lost in the Garden of Eden, God
purchased back for us at the cost of his
Son, Jesus.
I'm not talking
about a religion, a creed or a way of living. God invites us into a
personal relationship with himself. The invitation doesn't need to be
earned,
the payment has already been made on the cross - by the one who
said "I have
come that they might have life, and have it to the full"
(John 10:10).
I thank God for the wisdom, help and blessing that He has shown to
my wife and
me in
our 29 years together, and for our two wonderful girls. Because of knowing Him,
we have a reason for living, help and strength to get through the days
ahead of us,
and a solid hope of eternity in His presence with everyone
else who knows Jesus.
Jesus said "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only
son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal
life." (John 3:16)
Knowing Jesus has changed my life.
I hope it shows!
- Geoff.
