More to Life

There is so much more to life than money, career, family, hobbies and friends. I don't discount any of these things - they're all important. But they'll pass within a lifetime. Before I found Jesus, I was on a quest for meaning and purpose in life. I didn't find them in the things of this world. I didn't know I can have a personal relationship with God.

During my college days, I, Gail helped my friend with a mural. We both saw the same Christ figure before the painting began through dreams and visions.

One morning, I awoke to the flat sunlight streaming through my bedroom windows giving the room a subtle glow. "It's too cold to get out of bed," I thought. I laid facing down on my pillow when suddenly I had a vision of a man with his eyes shut through the floral print of my pillowcase. A bright light shone next to Him. How extraordinary! Then it dawned on me. This man looks like Jesus. A peace I had never known before filled my heart.

While painting the Mount of Olives, a narrow and straight road appeared that led to its summit where Jesus stood. On the left side, a wide road appeared that led to a dead end. I was reminded of a verse about the narrow and wide roads in Matthew 7:13,14 NIV.

"This painting represents the afterlife," I thought. I discovered that God made each of us with an eternal soul that needs salvation. He wants to spend eternity with us in heaven, but He gives us a choice. It's very important to understand that the afterlife is more real and permanent than our present life on earth. Jesus is waiting for each person with open arms.

Christ Cards contain the A, B, C's of Christianity along with a prayer for salvation. If you prayed the salvation prayer for the first time, a big, hearty welcome to you. Jesus is our King and Lord and Savior and He adopts you into the Royal Family. Reciting the salvation prayer is the first step in beginning your walk with Jesus. No matter what type of trials you face, never turn back from following Jesus. Go all the way with Him.
