Do you agree or disagree?
Luke 6:9
..."I want to ask you: What is allowed by the Law in Sabbath, to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?"
NOPE ! GOD WON'T FIT IN A BOX
What made Mother Teresa of Calcutta love the derelicts, the wretched and the poor? She saw Jesus in every person that she met. Mother Teresa NEVER limited her ministry to Catholics only.
Where did Corrie Ten Boom, holocaust survivor, find the heart to forgive the Nazi soldier that killed her sister? She wanted to start the healing process.
How does Jesus transform a person to radiate HIS LOVE? It was PURE MERCY and GRACE. So, who are we to say that only those who go to thru the prescribed rituals will be saved?
The great lie of the evil one is making us feel totally unworthy with all our sins, so that we will shun God. Many have banished themselves from God's embrace because they thought God is only for the pure.
I tell you now, if God can change the once wayward and worldly St. Augustine to the great teacher that he is, WHY NOT US? He came for the sick that is why he dined with Zacchaeus, the despised tax collector. He came for the lost ones, so He did not ignore Mary Magdalene, the shame of Magdala.
Nope, God does NOT operate in fixed patterns. He will never fit in any box. Always, He will surprise us with HIS INFINITE MERCY and MUCH LOVE. All He wanted from us is a CONTRITE HEART.
PRAYER: JESUS MY KING, YOU CAME FOR ME
AND I AM GRATEFUL.
