Lord, You created us with a free will. You didn’t create robots who were programmed to do Your every command. No, You let us choose to obey You or make ourselves lord of our lives. You let us choose our behavior and lifestyle, even if those choices are not in our best interest. When You make Yourself known to us, it’s our choice to believe what You say or dismiss Your truths as something that doesn’t apply to us. You warn us rebelling against You will hurt us, and You don’t want to see us missing the fullness of life You bring. Like the prodigal son, You waited patiently for us to come to our senses. But, when in rebellion my soul became a train wreck, that’s when the truth of Romans 5:20 became clear: “As people sinned more and more, God’s grace became more abundant.” When we turn from sin and turn to You, Lord God, You are waiting with open arms for us.
Putting my trust in You Jesus and realizing how You paid my sin debt on the cross gives me a confidence You are who You say You are.
Oh, Jesus I just gotta tell everybody. Amen.
