Deuteronomy 30:10 - The Lord your God will delight in you if you obey His voice and keep the commands written in this Book of Instruction, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul.
God revealed His plan for our redemption through His grace to Moses long before He sent Jesus to die for us on the cross. God has always wanted us to be with Him Jesus' purpose was for God to give us a demonstration of how serious He was about our salvation. Our best possible demonstration to Him is to accept His free gift, turn from our sinful ways, and submit ourselves to His will for our lives with all of our heart and soul. A totally one-sided trade in our favor, but God doesn't mind, because we are His delight.
My heart breaks for those who have died and never knew God. It continues to hurt for those who haven't turned to Him yet. I pray these people regularly. Every Sunday when the Pastor gives the invitation, and prays the prayer with the new believers, I pray for those who are on the fence and haven't begun a relationship with Christ that the Holy Spirit will stir in them, and they will make that commitment. We should all be praying for them. We can share the Gospel with them, but the choice is theirs. I pray that those who haven't yet, will make that choice before it is too late.
Dear Lord, today I pray for those that don't know You yet, to come to know You now. There are so many out there that either haven't heard Your Good News, or have ignored it for far too long. I pray that they won't wait until it's too late. I know that in Your unfailing love and amazing grace You will forgive and accept them when they come to You with an open heart. Please use me in whatever way I can be of service to You and them, to help in the cause of Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name, Amen!
God Bless!!!
