My kind of people

God, you will not reject a heart that is broken and sorry for sin. ~ Psalm 51:17b (NCV)

When the Pharisees saw this, they asked Jesus’ followers, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” ~ Matthew 9:11 (NCV)
God, you hang-out with the wrong kind of people -- my kind of people. How is it that you would love the losers? What kind of a god are you? Even though we are sorry for our failures, we continue to make a mess of life. But you continue to reach out to us. And that changes everything. It changes the way I think about you -- what I think about myself -- how I go about my business today... I'm grateful for your gracious attention. Amen.
