So often, God works completely opposite to how people think
He would.
We think that God gets close to people who live the best
lives.
Mother Theresa, Billy Graham & MLK and the like.
I was reading the Bible today & saw almost the exact
opposite picture.
* Jesus said the person who had the most faith in his day was
an Italian solider (Matthew 8:10)
* He held the hand on a prostitute that had been dragged out
into the street and said “I don’t judge you.” (John 8:11)
* God’s chosen leader Moses was a murderer, as well as the
leader of Exodus (both the movie and in real life)
* Israel’s anointed King David had Bathsheba’s husband knocked
off so he could marry her… just before he wrote much of the Bible.
* Even Jesus very own great great great great …. great grandmother
was Rahab, the foreigner prostitute.
More often than not it was the already religious that missed
out on a relationship with God.
It was the people who recognized that they had no business
being near God that actually got close to Him.
For all those who have ever felt too irreligious to come to
church, this Christmas might be your time to give God another chance. You might
be surprised how interested he is in having a little chat.
