What reaches even farther than the long arm of God's law? The long arm of God's grace! Friends it is so important that we never, for one moment, underestimate God's compassion and willingness to forgive, restore and regenerate a lost or broken soul! I am so grateful that He didn't turn a cold shoulder to me, or refuse take my "call" in the night! Quite the contrary... he not only took my call...he ran to me, (the prodigal I was)and took me in his arms, dusted me off and led me into safety! We need to be real careful not to ascribe to God our own limitations when it comes to grace and mercy! I think some don't call out for help because they feel there is no help for them, they have believed the lie that God's compassion has limits, and his love is earned. Right now, right where you are... Just like the thief on the cross, reach out to Jesus! Romans 5:20. The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
Thanks for letting me share, Randy Young
