THROW A PARTY!

Wow! Talk about exciting! God has released to us some fantastic news that seems almost too good to be true! It makes me wanna SHOUT! Check This Out! 

" 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. (Rom 5:6-11 NLT) 

Hey, if he liked you and wanted you when you didn't want him and were his enemy, how much more so now, when your heart is willing and wanting him! Jesus said, "No-one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day." (Jn 6:44) That means you won't even have a desire for God unless you are valuable to him and he is drawing you. Look at these beautiful words written by apostle Paul to Titus. 

Titus 3:3-7 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 

Go figure! God wants you and me! The fact that you would want to read this is proof that God Almighty has put a desire for him in your heart and is drawing you! It is not about how good you are — it's all about him! Wow — You are called by God! How unbelievably beautiful and wonderful is that! Meditate on this and let it sink in! The love of God for you and me is awesome! Definitely beyond fully comprehending! This is so heart-warming and exciting... It makes me want to dance and shout and…
