Ep. 740 - Paid in Full

MINISTRY MOMENT

Know that it’s never too late, the gift of salvation is always extended to you, even if you’ve accepted it before and have since blown it. God knows. He knows all of the reasons and distractions that happened along the way, and He just wants you to come home…so make that call to Him. Stop where you are and call home. You can start out with a shaky breath and say, “Dad, I’ve been in an accident,” and I promise you, He will be there immediately, holding your hand, sitting with you in the waiting, in the courtroom, and paying your penalty in full and freeing you from the debt and shame associated with whatever it is that you really did. So, go and live in the fullness of that freedom!

PRAYER POINT

“Father, thank You so much for loving us in the middle of our mess and loving us so much to look at us and pick us up from the rubble of our distracted choices and rebellious nature. I need You today, more than ever. I need Your love, kindness, compassion, and mercy, so that I can change direction and follow You. I believe You sent Your Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for my choices. I want Your Holy Spirit to fill me and lead me in Your ways. I want to live in Your freedom! Amen!”

GOING DEEPER

Read John 8 and Romans 3.

WALK IT OUT

I encourage you to emulate the sacrificial love demonstrated by Jesus to others by extending grace, forgiveness, and selfless love to those around you. Build relationships with unexpected people. Look at them through the eyes of the Father who wants them to be safe and going on the right road because He loves them so much. As you build relationships with Him as your foundation, those conversations will naturally happen, and you may be surprised by what He teaches you through them. Be open to His directions!

SHARE WITH OTHERS

As you encounter others, they may notice a change in you - this is true of people who are newly walking with the Lord, and those who are continually growing in their faith and relationship with Him. I encourage you to emulate the sacrificial love demonstrated by Jesus to others by extending grace, forgiveness, and selfless love to those around you. Build relationships with unexpected people. Look at them through the eyes of the Father who only wants them to be safe and going on the right road because He loves them so much. As you build relationships with Him as your foundation, those conversations will naturally happen, and you may be surprised by what He teaches you through them. Be open to His directions!
