Prodigal Grace
Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man receives sinners and eats with them.” – Luke 15:1-2
Pray to God
Receive all His children
Offer love to everyone
Decide to forgive wrongs
Inspire others to do the same
Grace should be given daily
Ask for salvation for all people
Love God and people
God loves everyone. I know that’s a hard pill to swallow but He does. He loves the murderer. He loves the adulterer. He loves the thief. He loves the racist. He loves the liar. He loves the scammer. He loves you and He loves me. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve done if you turn to God with a repentant heart He will receive you. Why, because God’s grace is prodigal. The next time you feel the need to put someone in an unforgivable category remember that God loves that person just as much as He loves you.
Let’s remember to show grace to everyone, even those who have done unforgivable acts because God loves them and doesn’t want any of his children to perish. So my brothers and sisters let’s make a commitment to pray for all people; especially those who are deemed unworthy. That is God’s prodigal grace in action.
Heavenly Father, When we are tempted to hate, remind us of your love and help us extend your love, forgiveness and grace to one another. In Jesus name amen
