A few thoughts

Due to the new influx of visitors coming to my site, thanks largely in part to my brother linking to me (thanks, Arie), I guess I'd better post again. : )

I think it's great how God can use someone that keeps falling away from Him. The prodigal son keeps walking away, and Jesus keeps welcoming the sinner back every time.
Jesus is enough. A sermon that my dad taught last month about the prodigal son is helpful in our never ending procession to and from God's side. He talked about the prodigal son, who, after receiving his father's forgiveness, departs again from his father's side, and returns to his previous lifestyle. What then? Does his father then reject him, disown him, and leave him to his own life? NO. When the prodigal humbles himself yet again, and returns to his father, his father sincerely accepts him back. No matter how many times that happens in our lives, that's the way God is with us. That's something so amazing about our God. He loves us, no matter what we do. And we can always go back to Him. Jesus' love is sweet and wonderful.

Tomorrow is Good Friday, the day on which Jesus died and was buried for the world's sins. I'm contemplating that this week. The amazing grace and love of our blessed God and Savior, Jesus Christ, is wonderful.

"For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly."

Perfectly planned, divinely inspired, lovingly accomplished. THIS is our God.
