THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
WHEN YOU CALL OUT TO GOD, YOU’RE GOING TO SEE HIS FAVOR
Jesus was at a Pharisee’s house when an “IMMORAL woman” came in and poured a jar of expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet and began to wash them with her tears and her hair. The religious LEADERS were SHOCKED that Jesus would allow this “SINNER” to touch Him. But though she had made a MESS of her life, she loved and LONGGED to PLEASE Jesus. When she took one STEP toward God, He showed her MERCY and said, “Your sins are FORGIVEN.”
That’s the God WE serve. Maybe YOU’VE made a mess, and now you think, God will never help ME. No, God is NOT judging you based on what you’ve DONE. He looks PAST the outside, past the mistakes and failures, and He looks at your HEART. The question is, is your HEART turned toward Him? As it was with THIS lady, when you call out to God, you’re going to see His FAVOR, RESTORATION, and MERCY.
Today’s Scripture
Luke 7:47, NLT
“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love.”
