You
were made in God's image. (Genesis 1:26-27)
God
loves you, no matter who you are, where you've been, what you've done, said, or
thought about. (Luke 15:11-32)
You,
like the rest of mankind, are a sinner. (Romans 3:10-12)
Because
of your sin, there is a chasm between you and God. Nothing you can possibly do can bridge the
gap. Not even doing almost everything
right can bring you close enough to God to be able to spend eternity with
Him. The only other option, what we all
deserve, is hell. (Romans 4:1-6; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 6:23)
What
Jesus did on the cross (described above), He did for you. No matter how far away from God your journey
has taken you, He continues to invite you to enter into a relationship with Him
through your faith in Jesus, trusting only Him to save you from the
consequences (spiritual death) of your sins. (Luke 15:11-32; John 3:16)
God
has a plan for you. For your life. He wants you to fellowship with Him through
reading His Word, the Bible, and talking with Him through prayer. He wants you to rely on Him to guide you
through His plan for your life, and following Him and His ways will always be
the best place for you to be. Not always
the easiest, but the best. (Proverbs
3:5-6
The
decisions you make now will affect your life later. It's a fact that is hard to see when you are
young, but that doesn't make it less true.
You will make mistakes. It's part
of being human. But the sooner you get
back on track after you mess up, the better the outcome is likely to be. (Psalm 27:14;
Luke 15:11-32)
We at
And She Smiles love and care for you, whether we know you in person or not. We believe you were made for more than what
our society in general expects of you. We believe that you have a higher
purpose and a lovelier destiny than just doing whatever feels good in the
moment or manipulating people to get what you want.
