Actress and author Lisa Whelchel—best known for her nine-year stint in The Facts of Life—is often asked, “Why did your life turn out so well when so many other child stars end up with lives of addiction and misery?” Lisa’s answer is simple: “When I was ten years old, that empty place that is in each of us was filled by God. That prevented me from walking down paths that lead to pain and destruction.” True enough, Lisa has lived contentedly as a pastor’s wife and mother of three since she retired from show business. Today, she continues to tell people about Jesus, because she knows that everyone feels the same need for wholeness that she experienced as a child.
Are you looking for wholeness in your life? Perhaps it’s time you asked Jesus for help. If you don’t know Jesus, we encourage you to pray the following:
Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me be the person You want me to be. Amen.
Saying this prayer is the first step towards a personal relationship with Jesus. We would love to pray for you and send you further information.
