Stand up my friend - shake off the shackles that have bound
You - to their constant memories of pain - and - step out into the
Sunshine of God's ever present love - that's calling you - and start
To live again - don't let the past dictate your future any more - but
Breath deeply the New life - that is being  offered you - a life
Wherein you can be free of chains - that bind you to
Your past - and steal your liberty ......

Yes - stand up my friend - and let the
Son of God - entirely set you free.

Reach out my friend - and grasp the hand now freely offered you - a
Hand that doesn't wave goodbye - nor let you go - a hand that knows
The pain of cruel nails - that held them to a wooden beam - to pay the
Price for you and me - and yet - those same scarred hands can
Draw us from the deepest pits of sin and shame - and help us
Soar with Him - into the heavenly realms - above life's
Sorrows - storms - and earthly pain ....

So - yes my friend - reach out and grasp the hand
Of Him - who calls each one of us - by name.

Receive my friend - all that the Saviour is now giving you for
Free - we cannot earn such love - nor can we bridge the way to
Father God - by works - or sacrifice - or by our merit or degree - No - it
Is Finished - at the cross - and now the Door is open wide - and whosoever
Will - may come - and freely step inside - into the open arms of Jesus Christ -
Our Lord - and Heavenly Guide - whose plans for us are for our good -
To give us Life and hope - for all Eternity ....

So now - my friend -
Stand up - Reach out - Receive -
From Him - whose love is reaching out to you today -
To heal - restore - and welcome you - into
His - Forever - Glorious - Home -
And Family.

Just recently God has given me the privilege to reach out to
people who many would reject or overlook , but since I have
heard of some of some of their life stories I see them through
His compassionate eyes .

God does not turn away any who reach out to Him in the depth
of their need , and He never will.

My prayer today is that many will reach out to the wonderful Saviour ,
and receive His mercy , love, and healing grace , and will have a
brand new start that will last from today into eternity .

God bless you all
With love from
Stella X
