Your dad forces you go to church, but the facts is he can’t make you listen. At least that’s what you’ve always muttered to yourself. But today you listen because he speaks of a God who loves prodigals, and you feel like the worst sort of one.
You can’t keep the false secret much longer. Soon your parents will know. The preacher will know. He says God already knows. You wonder what God thinks!
Grace is God’s best idea. Rather than tell us to change, he creates the change. Do we clean up so he can accept us? No, he accepts us and begins cleaning us up.
What a difference this makes.
Can’t forgive your past? Christ can, and he is on the move, supernaturally budging you from graceless to grace-shaped living. Forgiven people forgiving people.
Deep sighs of relief.
