We are a group of committed Christians, varying in age, gender, and location
(living mainly in Oregon and Nevada). Though evangelical, Spirit-filled and
very decidedly Bible believing, we are aware that our visitors come from all
religious persuasions, from just beginning their exciting walk with the
Lord, to long time followers of Christ. We hope all Protestant, Catholic,
and Orthodox believers will rejoice in our mutual love fest with our Beloved
Lord and Savior! We definitely are NOT lukewarm, but eager to introduce
Christ to the non -believer. Those of you who have been wanting a closer,
more intimate relationship with Almighty God will find the starting place
right here on CherishMates.com . We will offer “The Penitent’s Prayer” for
those who want a fresh start with the Lord, and provide glowing reports of
answered prayer, miracles, and uplifting, encouraging experiences from your
brothers and sisters in the faith. Please book mark us and visit often as we
add new material to help you find your wonderful Christian soul mate.
Recently Pastor Rick Warren, author of the wildly popular book, “The Purpose
Driven Life” remarked that God must hate loneliness because He didn’t leave
Adam single for long. You will recall that Adam was already grousing and
complaining (on the first day of his life!) that animals had mates but he
had no one like himself. In Genesis verse 1: 20 and verse 2:23 we get the
impression, from notes in the King James Bible that Adam, at long last, had
a mate like himself. Might this be where we get our impatience, from the
father of the human race Adam? Perhaps the Lord killed two birds with one
stone when he caused a very deep sleep to fall upon Adam, first, to fully
anesthetize the world’s first bone donor, and secondly to shut him up. But
when our loving Father presented the beautiful bride to Adam, his angst over
being single soon dissipated. With all the cool he could muster, Adam
conveniently forgot to tell Eve he’d lamented his loneliness just moments
before! But by all accounts, Eve was delighted with her (literally!) NEW
husband. The King James Bible notes marriage is so important in the mind of
God that it was the first of three divine institutions and was patterned to
illustrate Christ’s love for the church.
So now that we have seen God move quickly to provide a mate for the first
man, we can rejoice in God’s empathy for our own loneliness. He said it is
not good for man to live alone, and He has encouraged us to be fruitful and
multiply, thus assuring there would always be suitable mates for all His
children, and of course, many friends to keep loneliness at bay. We were
designed to reach out to each other. Our prayer is that you will reach out
and find the love of your life! Your Christian online dating site,
CherishMates.com is ready to help you find the man or woman of your dreams!
For those of you who haven’t felt close to the Lord lately, or would like to
renew your commitment to Jesus, here is a simple prayer to tell Him you
would love a new beginning with Him. You could repeat this prayer, or in
your own words ask His forgiveness and offer your love to Him.
THE PENITENT’S PRAYER:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for providing your own Son to pay for my sins so that I could be
worthy of Heaven. I’m sorry for all the ways I have grieved You, and I ask
for forgiveness for every sin I have committed. Now I turn from my wrong
doing, and ask your help in overcoming my faults, sins, addictions, lack of
forgiveness, and all things that cause me to stumble. I believe that when a
person gives their heart and life to You, they become a New Person. I will
never stop thanking you for your overwhelming, free gift of salvation and
eternal life!
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. |
