We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.. (1 John 3:16)
Before a big football game in college, I remember our head coach saying, “Guys, in life sometimes you only get one shot and then you lose that opportunity forever. Don’t miss your one shot today” It was inspiring and probably could be played on Friday Night Lights as a pre-game speech. Thankfully, that’s not how God operates. God loves you so much!
God has a track record of not giving up on people. When they got lost, he pursued them. When they sinned, he made a plan to rescue them. When they ran away, he actively looked for them. When they were in trouble, he fought for them. When they continued to wander, he continued to seek them. When they cried out, he gave them a Savior. And when they turned to him, he embraced them with his creative, unlimited life. You are a person, are you not? The good news for you today is this: You are incredibly loved by God, the very one who created this world so he could be in a relationship with you. He sent Jesus to find you, to pursue you, to search for you. He will never give up on you. In fact, he is thinking about you right now. He is calling out your name, and he wants you to call out his. What’s this have to do with making a difference? Look for someone who needs an extra chance today, and find a way (through words or through actions) to share God’s love with them.
Prayer for the Day
God what are you showing me? What am I going to do about it?
God help me to see one person that I can serve through a kind word, random act of kindness, or simple gift today?
