What a blessing it is that God doesn’t validate the way the world does. The world has a “What can you do for me?” attitude. With God, His love for you isn’t performance based. And get this; God loves you at your worst. “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (Romans 5:8, NLT). When everyone else in your life wants distance from you, God calls you to Him. He takes your garbage and gives you adoption. Agape love (love that can only come from God) is something the world is incapable of generating without Him.
Someone made a sacrifice for you and offered you the gift of salvation. If you haven’t accepted this yet, it’s your move. 2 Corinthians 6:2 (NLT): “For God says, ‘At just the right time, I heard you.On the day of salvation, I helped you.’ Indeed, the ‘right time’ is now. Today is the day of salvation.” God doesn’t want you to wait for a “better time” to come to Him or wait until you have your act together. There’s no better time than now, and you’re not going to have your life together until you surrender to Him.
If you haven’t made the decision to follow Jesus, what’s holding you back? Is it the world around you? Is it your friends and family? There will always be people trying to hold you back from the truth. You shouldn’t care what others think. Someone more important than them has already validated you and welcomes you with open arms. God wants to reveal truth to you.
When the world tries to tell you there are many roads that lead to truth, ask yourself why God would send His Son when there are millions of other ways to truth! Why live your life treading water, or even drowning, when you could let God be your rescuer? God will never stop chasing after you. His love endures forever.
