—2 Corinthians 5:16-21

What an upside down situation. The Creator of the universe is appealing to His creation to listen to His ambassadors. “Please! I love you. I yearn for relationship with you. I have made a way. Be reconciled to me. Come, eat life-giving bread. Drink living water. Taste and see that it is good. Oh how I long for you.” Over and over, He reaches out. He loves us so much that we can delude ourselves into thinking we are actually doing God a favor by “accepting Christ.” It is quite the reverse—He graciously accepts us. Lord, awaken in us a fresh awareness of your amazing love and humility.
