That All Would Come to Him

"God isn't late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn't want anyone lost. He's giving everyone space and time to change." "With God, one day is as good as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day." From 2 Peter 3:8-9 The Message

"My dear friends, if you know people who have wandered off from God's truth, don't write them off. Go after them. Get them back and you will have rescued precious lives from destruction and prevented an epidemic of wandering away from God." James 5:19-20 The Message

Maybe it's time we all started focusing less on the frustrations and fears of this world and more on the urgency of bringing all of his children to Him.

Maybe it's time that we all stopped allowing petty differences (and unnecessary religious rules) to come between us and fellow believers.

If a friend is straying - go after him! Run to him! Remind him that he is accepted, loved, and free!

There is a love - a burning passion - for the heart of each and every person, that is beyond all our comprehension yet is within the grasp of all who would simply call upon Him. But how can they grasp it if they don't know who to call to? And how can they know who to call to if no one tells them?

Run to them! Tell them how loved they are by the One who died to free them!

We all have a place of desperation within us. A place that longs for acceptance, unconditioned and free. A place that, without grace - without peace, continues to grow - continues to ache, and cries out to anyone willing to help.

Will you be that person? That person who shares the healing grace so freely given to you when you last ached... That person whole and healed - able to drastically change the lives of others... RUN TO THEM!

He's waiting for us to reach out to those who are lost - to help them to change directions - to stop running from Him and begin running TO him - to his open arms of love.
