Today's VerseWe love Him because He first loved us.
~1 John 4:19
Thoughts on today's verse...
He drew a circle that shut me out,
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout!
But love and I had the wit to win,
We drew a circle that took him in!
Isn't that just like God? We try to shut Him out, but He will keep persisting, keep knocking at the door of our hearts until we just open it up a teensy little bit. Then He comes in and starts to radically transform our lives. Oh yes, there are times we try to keep Him at bay or even to walk away from Him, but He is faithful in His relationship with us - even when we are not. Philippians 1:6 states it very well, "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."
My prayer...
Yours, because we're His,
