If the life and love a Christian experiences seem far from you, it may be that you haven't yet received Jesus into your heart and accepted His gift of eternal love and life. If that is the case, you can do so right now by inviting Him in. He says, "Behold, I stand at the door [of your heart] and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in" (Revelation 3:20). Simply pray the following prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for dying for me, so I can have eternal life. Please forgive me now for every wrong and unloving thing I have ever done. Wash away all that, and help me to do better. I need Your love to fill and satisfy my heart. I want the life of heavenly happiness You have for me--here and now, and in Heaven hereafter. I open the door of my heart and ask You, Jesus, to come in. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Amen.
