For an Unbelieving Friend

I know you don’t think much of religion

and

I know you don’t want anyone to push or pressure you.

but also

I know you’re hurting.

I know you’ve searched for solutions and satisfaction and peace 

and

I know you haven’t found it. 

And you won’t ever find it - not solutions, not satisfaction, not peace

until

You know Jesus. 

I’m not saying the Jesus Way is easy

and 

I’m not saying the Jesus Way instantly fixes everything.

but

I am saying He’s the only one who stays

and

sees

and 

knows.

So answer this:

What would it hurt to give it a try?

To give it a whirl - the Jesus Way. 

I mean

Is your way working?

Have you found any other way that works?

And imagine this:

What if He really is all He says He is?

What if He can do everything He says He can do?

What if He really is the resurrection and the life?

What if life lived His way is life truly and fully LIVED?

You just might find that

His way

Is the only way

You haven’t yet tried and

His way

Is the only way 

That works. 

Your anxiety and exhaustion and broken heart

say

You have little to lose. 

His forgiveness and love and faithfulness

say
You have oh so much to gain.
