This morning my kids were getting ready to go to a campmeeting that we'd only learned about last night, so nothing had been ironed, and everyone was hurrying. One of my kids asked me to iron some things for them, so I ironed them then laid them carefully across the bed so as not to cause wrinkles.
Then this child decided to wear something different and changed clothes. But instead of hanging up the clothing I had ironed, or even spreading them out on the bed, I later discovered the clothes carelessly thrown into a pile and thoroughly wrinkled.
I was quite annoyed to say the least.
Those clothes had already been ironed! If not now, at least keep them nice so that they could be worn another day.
But I still love my child. I admit it took awhile for me to really feel that love once again, lol, but I did! =D
When we go the extra mile to do something for someone, and they give it no value, have complete disregard for the work you did, it isn't fun. We feel like saying, "Fine! See if I do anything for you again!"
I'm so glad God isn't like that.
He gave his only Son to die for you.
For you!
He suffered a severe beating, a crown made of thorns was forced onto his head, and then He was nailed to a cross. Nailed right through his hands and feet to hold him there, hanging, struggling for every breath.
Jesus Christ, who is sinless and perfect, took on your sin and my sin, and suffered that humiliation which was worse than the physical pain so that your sins would be paid for. So that you could go to heaven.
Because he loves you.

Are you going to reject that? Will you carelessly throw away what God has done for you?
Something already paid for, a gift just waiting for you to accept.
Waiting for another day might work for ironed clothing, but not necessarily for salvation. You don't know how much longer you have on this earth, and you don't want to wait until it's too late!
Jesus Christ sacrificed his life for you! Please don't disregard what He did for you!
I am planning to attend an event in a few weeks to commemorate the homegoing (to heaven) of two young children who were both killed in an accident involving a drunk driver. I'm sure that father never even thought of what would happen as he buckled his children in that day.
You don't have the assurance that you will be alive even an hour from now.
Please don't wait until it's too late!
How to accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour, and your only way to Heaven:
Do you know Christ as your personal Savior?
Have you ever received the Lord Jesus Christ into your life?

Realize That God Loves You
God loves you and has a plan for your life. “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

The Bible Says That All Men Are Sinners
Our sins have separated us from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
Our sins have separated us from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
God made man in His own image. He gave man the ability to choose right from wrong. We choose to sin. Our sins keep us from God.
God’s Word Also Says That Sin Must Be Paid For
“For the wages of sin is death....” Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death....” Romans 6:23
Wages means payment. The payment of our sin is death and hell, separation from God forever. If we continue in our sin, we shall die without Christ and be without God forever.
The Good News Is That Christ Paid For Our Sins
All of our sins were laid on Christ on the cross. He paid our sin debt for us. The Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross, and He arose from the dead. He is alive forevermore.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

We Must Personally Pray And Receive Christ By Faith
The Bible says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”Romans 10:13

Everlasting life begins when we receive Christ as our Savior.
