Some people have the idea that God carries around a list, like Santa,
giving him a blow by blow description of everything they have done
wrong in their lives. Maybe you are one of those people who believe its
only the church goers who get their prayers answered; not some runaway
sinner like you. You imagine if you keep off the radar God will forget
about you and shoot that lighting bolt of vengeance in some other poor
souls direction. Somewhere along the line you were told that God gets
glory when you suffer in silence and accept your lot in life.
WHAT A LIE! The Bible tells us God gets glory when the lame walk and the blind see!
God
sent his son into this dark, hurting world to seek and save the lost.
Jesus was born on our harsh planet not to condemn humanity but to heal
your diseases, to deliver you from all your hurts and disappointments,
and to set you free from every type of bondage so you can live with hope
and joy.
As you approach this Christmas and New Year, realize one thing. Jesus keeps no record of wrongs. He told us to ask and receive. Instead
of running away, go to the manger just as you are. Don't be afraid to
tell Him what you need. Our problems and failures seem huge to us but
"nothing is impossible with God." Let this be the year you begin to
believe He cares for the naughty and nice.
Luke 19:10 "For the Son of man came to save that which was lost."
Salvation is just the beginning of all God has in store for those who trust Jesus. He intends to save us from our sins, and everything that tries to ruin our lives.
John
3:17 "For God did not send his Son into the world in order to pass
sentence on people, but that humanity might find salvation and be made
safe and sound through Him.
A father came to Jesus and
told him a spirit would often throw his son into both the fire and
water, intending to kill him. The dad begged Jesus and said, BUT IF YOU
CAN DO ANYTHING have mercy and help us.
Jesus answered him as he answers us....."All things are possible if you will believe." Mark 9:23
