God created you.

Psalm 139:13-16
For You formed my inward parts.  You covered me in my mother's womb.  I will praise You, for
I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very
well.  My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in
the lowest parts of the earth.  Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.  And in Your
book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.

God knew you before you were born - even while you were in your mother's womb.  He know
all about your family and your life until now.  God wants to give you a new life, a new start, a
new way of living.  He can only do this when you surrender your life to Him.




God wants a personal relationship with you.

John 17:3
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom
You have sent.

God is not "force", or an unspeaking or unseeing idol; or even your own self-esteem.  Instead,
God is a person, your Creator, who created you to be in relationship with Him.  He created
you to know Him.




God loves you.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in
Him, should not perish but have everlasting life.

You can turn your life over to God's control because He loves you and He wants the very best
for you.  In fact, He loves you so much, He gave His only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for
you.  Trusting in God is trusting in the one Person whom has always known and loved you.
