The Choice is Ours

The Choice is Ours


Honest questions, thundering statements, tender touches, tough love, that’s our God. Shaking every tree, moving every stone, seeking out the lost sheep in the valley and hills. He’s looking relentlessly until we are found

For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.” John 6:38-40 NLT

The choice is ours because He loves us. He will get our attention. Isn’t that evident in the Bible? He made a shepherd a king, a humble maiden the mother for His Son. He takes them from plowing the fields to planting His Word in the hearts of men. God is still moving in miraculous ways, seeking our hearts, not less than yesterday but more and more, tireless on and on today. 

Never pushing, but inviting with a gentle enduring patience. Step by baby step He leads us to the tender place in His heart. Leading and yearning for us to have a greater understanding of His miraculous unconditional love for us. God will never stop until He’s finished, never quit until our choice is made.

“…If there are a thousand steps between us and him, he will take all but one. But he will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours. ―Max Lucado The Gift for all people”
