Lord, You’re our good heavenly Father, who beckons all to come to You. Your Love has no equal. You “gave Your only Son Jesus so that all who believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Jesus’ perfection highlights our imperfections. We’re broken people. In Your incredible Love and wanting none to be lost, You call all people everywhere to come to You. Sadly, not everyone thinks they need Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for salvation (1 Timothy 2:4). Just like the religious elites who harassed You, Jesus, be it pride or ignorance, many still trust their good deeds will cancel their sins. Their “Hey, God!-Look-how-good-I-am” arrogance must leave You laughing (Psalm 2:4). Some are so intelligent they insist all religions lead to You. The carnal part of me wants to say, “Boy, are you guys in for a surprise!” Such a pity if someone has never been broken before. Help me, Lord, remain humble and not fall into the trap a haughty spirit lays. Instead, help me pray for them.. May I never forget it was Your grace that saved me. You call broken people, You call people humble enough to know they need You. You call the prodigal to come home. Thank You, heavenly Father, for calling me. I’d be so lost without You.
Thankful that You called me by Your grace, Lord God,, amen.
