Jesus is calling.


One of the worst experiences I can always recall is the visit to the dentist. The thought of visiting one always sends chills down my spine. As a young child, whenever I had tooth decay I would always hide my pain just to avoid being taken to the dentist!!! Fear, fear, fear, how I hate that word as much as I hate visiting the dentist!

 

Worse was the experience when two or more teeth had to be worked on. As much as I hated all dentists, I was always happy with the outcome of the visit to them. They work on my teeth and once the pain is all gone and I can smile again, I feel like going back to them to say thanks.
It is a necessity to visit the dentist at least for the well being of out teeth. They are amazing people because they ensure that our teeth are good enough to digest food since digestion first occurs in the mouth with the chewing. 


The same fear of going to the dentist engulfs the non-born again Christians. Jesus to them may be someone to be feared because He said He would punish all sinners. They forget that He is a compassionate God who was willing to die on the cross for all mankind.
Jesus may be a hater of evil and sin but He is just enough to forgive us when we repent.
If only one could take the step of faith, (like I when going to the dentist), then the outcome will be smiles, all smiles and the longing to even go back to Him every now and then. 


No matter how decayed out teeth are, the dentists can always work on them and we can smile again. The same case applies to Jesus and our sins. No matter how dark the sins maybe, He promises us that when we go to Him, He will make us as white as snow. 


We just need to over come the fear that is preventing us from repenting and run to Jesus. He will make us a 
new and we can always thank Him for doing just that. No matter who you are, what you do or your background, Jesus is calling you today to repent. He shall wash you clean with the blood that He poured while He was here on earth. After all the reason he poured that blood is just so that your sins can be cleansed and you are assured of an eternal life with Him in Heaven. 
Jesus is calling you today, Come to Him. ‘Fear not’ is written 365 times in the Bible. So every single day, DO NOT FEAR!!!
