Welcomed
without Wanting Anything
How
many times have we seen this?
“FREE OFFER! Get your free widget NOW. All you have to do is sign up for 3 months
and pay only $9.99 and it is yours to keep.”
Free
offers aren’t usually free.
Except
from God. Remember the prodigal son
parable? When the son came home, the
father welcomed him with open arms, a new robe, a royal feast and a ring and
shoes. He didn’t ask questions first, he
didn’t ask for penance. He didn’t ask
for remorse or tears. He accepted and
forgave.
The
Father wants companionship with us, great friendship, and really, the only ask
is – love Him back. Call on Him. Spend snuggle-time with God the Father.
That
is incredibly good great news.
You do know that we can’t earn our way back home? We can’t do enough good deeds, sing enough,
pray enough to earn our place at God’s table.
It
is offered with no strings attached.
The
ultimate question … will we accept this incredible offer of grace and
forgiveness?
Hope Encouragement Inspiration
