Ladies, follow me on this one.
How do you feel when a guy is bold enough to tell you how he feels about you? I mean, whether or not you reciprocate the feelings, I think it's safe so say no one wants to play the "guessing game". Needless to say, I appreciate an initiator (a respectful one at that). Point Blank. So today when my pastor briefly mentioned that God Himself was the initiator of our salvation, it really got me. I mean, to think of the One true God, making the first step to bring an unjust and unholy people to Him, blew my mind. 2 Cor 5:17-19 says
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
This just hits me so hard you guys, especially because I know how amazingly undeserving I am, but His love is so awesome. How are we going to respond to what He has initiated?
