Fri Jan 12-Not Just Obligation
God knows parental love because God created it.
In so many ways, God wraps our ordinary moments with God’s extraordinary grace.
We cannot “ready” ourselves by worrying about when Our Lord will come.
God’s salvation comes for most of us without any initial fanfare.
We’d like to think that we would have known we were walking beside Jesus if we met him on the road.
We may not speak the same language, but we do know the commitment for a God that is greater than any of our differences.
Oh, how easy it is to forget that there is One who will stay with us when we are so burdened!
When we are focusing on all the ways we’ve been wronged, then true forgiveness is in short supply.
It seems likely many believers think that they should also adhere to some idyllic and impossible model of Christianity.
