But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while
we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
The other day I was riding through the Walmart parking lot
and saw one of the dirtiest vehicles ever. This Suburban had two broken out
windows and covered in mud from front to back. My first thought….well we wont
go there. But, as I rode behind the vehicle I noticed something written in the
dirt on the car…..”I love you”.
Yep you guessed it, God started talking to me. As humans we are
born into sin. There is no way around it. We might be the cleanest person on
the outside, but our inside is an abomination to God. As we live each day our
lives are riddled with sin and trespasses that make it impossible for God to
look at us. And that my friend is exactly why God sent His son, Jesus Christ,
to make payment for the sins of mankind. Jesus took on sin with His body and
died for all of your trespasses and mine! And the beautiful thing in His death,
He arose from the dead, clean and ready to clean the hearts of mankind!
Where is your relationship with the Lord? Maybe you don’t feel
worthy of God’s love. Your life has been nothing but religious and you’ve lived
a selfish life that you wouldn’t want to share with God. Trust me friend, the
broken windows of your heart and the filthy life you’ve lived can be inscribed
with His simple words…I love you! He died for you because He LOVES you, no
matter how dirty your life has been. There is no better time than this minute
to accept His love by asking Jesus to come into your heart, forgive you of your
sins and know that from this moment forward your eternal destination will be Heaven!
As we approach the celebration of Christmas, lets remember
its because of His love for us. Jesus is the reason for the season. Come clean through
His love today! God bless!
