On the way home from work earlier, listening to the radio. Heart like mine by Miranda Lambert came on the radio. It made me giggle, it made me think of how much Jesus loves people.

We spend so much time trying to be perfect, to build the perfect life, have the next best thing. What if we put all of that into loving each other how Jesus loves us.

Think about how much love Jesus had for you, so much that he died for our sins. He didn’t say ohh you can get into heaven because you have that brand new Mercedes.

He didn’t say, you’re going to hell because you and so & so can’t resolve that issue.

Think about it, Jesus went to the parties, he turned water into wine, & he didn’t look down on someone because they dressed like a hooker.

Really think about what you just read. Think about the last time you were in church and that girls dress was just a little too short. Or think about when you sat in your seat one Sunday and you could smell the alcohol seeping from the person in front of you’s pours.

Why do you have the power to cast judgement on those individuals? The answer is- you don’t. You’re probably the reason that person feels a little uncomfortable coming to church on Sunday mornings.

Those people came to worship just like you did. Those people may have been led to go to church that Sunday, they may have been living life in sin & wanted a change. The Holy Spirit will move you before you realize you are moving sometimes.

Jesus loved the righteous. Jesus showed up to the parties because he may could have turned Atleast one person into a believer.

I like to think Jesus is sometimes a 27 year old like me, he had interest similar to mine. He was just sent out to achieve more than I probably ever could in this lifetime.

The best thing I think though – is he loved the alcoholic and he loved the drug addict. He also said it’s never too late to come back home, & he stands there with open arms.

Sometimes, it’s hard to leave those lifestyles. It’s hard to leave that partying but you never know if Jesus sent you to that party because there is at least one person who is going to decide in that moment they want to change their life after seeing how much Jesus has done for you. There’s your reasoning on why you needed to attend that party and it wasn’t to live in the old ways you lived.

Lately, I’ve found myself praying more and more. Praying that I’m used to help more people find Jesus.

If you made it this far and you feel the need in your heart, remember – he’s always waiting with open arms & it’s never too late to come home.

Let me pray for the person on the other side of this screen-

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray the person on the other side of this screen find you. Whether they have slipped off the path and need to get back straight, whether they just discovered they want to make a change and welcome you into their hearts lord, whether they are running from you, I hope you protect them I hope you help them find their way back to you. Lord, I pray they know how much you love them.

Amen. 🤍
