Love to sinners

I kept saying ‘I’m here, I’m right here’ to a nation that ignored me. I reached out day after day to a people who turned their backs on me, People who make wrong turns, who insist on doing things their own way. ~ Isaiah 65:2 (MSG)

God showed how much he loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful. ~ Romans 5:8 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:

God reaches out to the people who have turned their backs on him.

PRAYER:

Lord, it sure is good news that you reach out to sinners. I'm one of them. Even though I trust you, I still end up doing things my own way. Don't give up on me. Continue to nudge me to grow in my faith so that I nudge the independent streak out of my life. I love you, Lord, because you first loved me. Amen.
