Praise God for another beautiful sunny π day,
Something to reflect on from the word of God,
βBut God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.β
(Ephesians 2:4-7)
PONDER THIS
God will enable your will, but God will not coerce your will. If God coerces your willβif your relationship with Him is forcedβthen youβre no longer a man, youβre a machine. And God can have no fellowship with a machine. If you want to come to Christ, you may. But if you donβt want to come to Christ, Heβll not force you. The Bible says βwhoever believesβ may come (John 3:16). If youβve not yet given your heart to Jesus Christ, I invite you to be made whole.
If you donβt want to come, there are not enough angels in Heaven that God would allow one of them to drag you down the aisle. But if you want to come, there are not enough demons in Hell or out of Hell or wherever they may be to keep you from coming. God has given you a will. And our Lord asks you, βWill you be made whole?β Do you see the brokenness in your life that needs to be redeemed by Him? Are you sick and tired of being blind in your sin? You can be made whole.
Have you been made whole in Christ? How is God speaking to you about that today?
Why is it important to remember that you are made complete in Christ?
PRACTICE THIS
Pray for another Christian you know and take action to remind that person he or she is made whole in Christ.
