God doesn’t
care what you’ve done, who you are, or where you’re at. He will do the
unthinkable and the ridiculous to get to you and reveal to you His
extraordinary love. He will leave the greater sum value to find one, because
each is a bearer of his image and of infinite value. … Even the 12 disciples were stuck
on worth being something that was earned and achieved.
His Arms
Read Mark 10:13-16 The last verse, “Jesus
took the children in his arms, placed his hand on them and blessed them.” He
took all of the children in his arms. It
didn’t matter how many there were.
He wants to
take everybody in His arms but some of us are too busy trying to wiggle out to
give our speeches, pay Him back, earn His love.
Just like the Prodigal in his father’s arms, he was trying to get away
and explain himself, but his father ignored him. His father continued to hold
him and love him and celebrate.
God is
saying, “Would you stop trying to fix yourself, and improve yourself, and
better yourself, and let Me hold you? Just come let Me hold you, restore you,
heal you, forgive you, love you, celebrate you.” - Grace
Grace starts in His arms, ends in His
arms, and is all about being in His arms.
Jesus is grace. (It’s worth discovering)
