“We received mercy…” 2 Cor 4:1
Jesus loves you today and offers you Himself.
The God of the universe has humbled Himself in so many ways.
He left the throne of glory to enter His creation.
He submitted Himself to the limitations of time and space – a human body.
He suffered unjustly to pay for our sins.
He died a criminal’s death on the cross.
All to show us how tender and loving and trustworthy He is.
We can trust Him with our lives.
He has offered to live within us.
Now by the power of the Holy Spirit He experiences what we expose Him to and daily He makes Himself vulnerable to us.
He does this because He loves us so much.
He knows who we are.
He takes pity on us and His heart is filled with compassion towards us.
Because of this, by His Spirit He makes Himself available to us knowing that we will at times reject Him and choose our own way.
What an ungrateful, small-minded and foolish person I reveal that I am when I reject Him in even any small way and choose my own will above His.
Because of the cross alone He sees me as righteous.
When I was a sinner Christ died for me.
He continues to offer us opportunities, day by day to unite and submit our wills to Him.
To respond to His humble, tender love and worship Him.
To experience unity with the Creator.
To receive the Ministry of the Holy Spirit as He conforms us into the image of Jesus.
What a God!
He is my God!
Worship Him with the host of Heaven today!
“Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.” 2 Cor 4:1
