there are so many people that are searching...searching for love...searching for happiness...searching for answers...just searching...when it is all found at the feet of Jesus...
have you been wandering through life looking for answers? do you long to return to the Father after being far away but hesitate...wondering what it will cost?
when coming "back home" we often have the same mentality as the prodigal son in luke 15:18-19, "'Father, i have sinned against heaven and before you. i am no longer worthy to be called your son. treat me as one of your hired servants...'" feeling worn down and unworthy...we return to our Heavenly Father thinking we have to work like hired servants to earn our place...
after many years...i discovered that forgiveness and salvation aren't chores for us to labor over...they are tremendous free gifts from an amazing God! how incredibly liberating to know that Jesus offers these to any and all who believe on His name...
Jesus says it simply..."come to me..." period...it really isn't any more complicated than that...He loves you...He loves me...He has been waiting for you and He welcomes you with open arms...we don't have to work for forgiveness...God's heart for us is the same as the prodigal son's father in luke 15:20. "so he [the prodigal son] got up and went to his father. but while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him"
when you allow Jesus to walk through the doors of your heart, no pleading is necessary, only faith that His salvation and grace are your gifts...
