Prevenient Grace Have you found yourself wondering about God? Is he really out there? Does he really care about you? Or, maybe there are some recent events in your life that you just can't explain -
the exact words you needed to hear from a friend, your car steering itself to nearly miss oncoming traffic, a song on the radio that really
hits home with you, a theme that just keeps reoccurring....
God trying to get your attention? Think God is trying to get your attention? Well, guess what - he definitely is! There is nothing more that God desires than your
heart and he will go to any lengths to get it. Think miracles don't happen? Just watch as life unfolds around you and you will see more
miracles every day than you ever thought possible. But, the real miracle is that God loves YOU so much that he is willing to
do whatever it takes to draw you close to him - even if it meant sacrificing his own son.
The Sacrifice That's right! God sacrificed his own son because he knew there was no other way to draw you close to him. It's like attempting to kick a home run in your kickball league championships -
with a flat ball. You'll never make it until you repair the hole in the ball, fill it back up with air, and make it perfect once again. You just won't be able to make it over the fence and into God's arms
without first repairing the damage in your heart. When we pray in Jesus name for the forgiveness that God has offered to us, we become perfect again in
God's eyes and we are able to reap all of the blessings that God has been stockpiling for us.
If you're wondering about God, try praying this simple prayer to ask him into your life:
Lord, you know my heart and all my secret desires. You know what is stopping me from letting you in. Please break down those
barriers and help me to know how much you love me, despite anything I have done in my life. Forgive me for all of the times I have ignored your
voice and help me begin my life anew with you as my focus. In Jesus name, Amen.
