Reading: Romans 8:32
“He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for
all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else?”
Do we really absorb the full meaning of
this gift that does not have an expiration date?
Are we truly ready to live into the
possibilities? To accept all the potential consequences?
Do we recognize the invitation?
Once, in creation’s beginnings, Adam and Eve walked in a
wholesome relationship with each other and with God. He had created the animals
but then brought them to Adam to name. Mutually involved together in life’s
creations—ongoing growth until deceit and sin tore them away from God’s life
giving intent.
Now Jesus offers us His ongoing fellowship. At great cost.
Now the opportunity to walk daily with Him in all our relationships, in all our
responsibilities, in His way. To be mutually included in His ministry of
reconciliation. Also with an ongoing cost.
Do we really want to accept His generous
gift that cannot be repaid?
Are we truly ready
to fully commit to follow wherever He leads?
Do we recognize His personal invitation to
each of us forever.
Lord, please give us discernment to daily walk with You in
steadfast trust, and rejoice in Your Presence.
Psalm of Worship: Proverbs 8:31
“Rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the
human race.”
