“Let’s Chat!”

Sometimes when we’re hurting, and feel as if the weight of the world is on our shoulders, we need a friend that cares enough to listen and offer genuine support that makes a difference. There is something about a new perspective on things that can bring healing and help, and of course that new perspective must be true if it will bring genuine and lasting help. This recalls the true account of the conversion of the great English Baptist preacher, Charles Spurgeon. He recounted himself that from a young man, he had felt a strong conviction and burden for his sins, and the most important thing in his life was to find out how he could get his sins forgiven. As a young man, he attended church after church and went to many godly men seeking the answer, but though he found many good truths that would be helpful to people that already knew the forgiveness of sins and had a relationship with God, his great burden was not lifted. His searching soul seemed to concur with the words of Jeremiah the prophet, chapter 8 and verse 20: “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” Young Charles Spurgeon never gave up seeking the answer to the most important question in all time and eternity: how can one’s sins be forgiven.
