Good evening Ladies, what a beautiful evening we have, the sunsets are amazing, amongst the bustle of homework, food, and lunch bags. It just doesn’t stop but if you have a second, pop your head out the door. Right now you can see the same sky I am gazing at.
I am thinking about the invitation each of us is given. The invitation to sit at the table with a Father that loves us more than anything else. Whilst I ponder I thought of 2 Peter 1:3-4
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
– 2 Peter 1:3-4
Everything that we need in our lives to live a life that is pleasing to God, has been given to us. We have an opportunity of getting to know, intimately, the One who invited us to God. This is the best invitation we will ever receive. The invitation costs us nothing but it came at a cost for the Son of God who gave His life that we will receive all that Jesus had to offer, His life was given because we need this invitation.
We were also given the promise to participate in the life of a Father who is waiting with open arms assuring us that when we turn from this world He will be there waiting for us.
“I hope you will grow up to love the Bible…I would like to say of you as Paul did of Timothy that from your youth you have known the scripture for it is able to make you wise.”
– D.L. Moody
Dear Lord, thank you that I can know that through my choice of Jesus, who saved my sins. I will see You my king in a life of eternity, Amen.
