He's Waiting For You

Take a walk through any fine art gallery and you’ll certainly come across one of the great paintings portraying the artist’s impression of God. Over the centuries those depictions have altered, with many of today’s images being quite contemporary in their style.

Throughout the Bible we’re reminded that we’re created ‘in the image or likeness of God.’ But somehow many of us seem to have changed and begun to create God in our own image. Some use His name as a tool of intimidation or threat, others use it as a form of condemnation, others use it with little regard and within the context of denigrating others. Whatever the fashion, it certainly isn’t nice.

Discounting God or minimising His power, or misrepresenting His love is an act that has gone on for centuries. Why else would Jesus have had to reassure those who listened to Him that He had come not to condemn us, but to save– us, each and every one of us!

God never rejects anyone. Even in our darkest days He still calls us by name and holds out His hand to us. It's not God who turns away, it's we who reject His hand and close our ears to His voice. And in doing so, we deny ourselves the true source of life and joy.

Please don't do that. Not even for a second. Reach out, take His hand. He’s there, waiting for you. Always.
