Looking into Scout’s eyes, filled with excitement and anticipation
of facing another adventurous day, I wonder if he remembers where he lived only
months ago. Though the folks at the rescue center cared for him, I wonder if he
realizes the blessing of living outside his three-by-five pen in a permanent
home with a family who loves him. And after only three short days on a leash to
grow accustomed to his new environment outdoors, he was free to roam leash-free
as he pleased.
Before time began, God planned and created a perfect place for
His creation of humankind. Although knowing Adam and Eve and every human born after
them with freedom of choice would fail miserably, it was a perfect plan. His
plan was salvation for all humanity, loving the world so much that He sent His
only Son to pay our sin debt. Because the wage of sin is death, we deserved to
die, but Jesus sacrificially gave His life in our place (Romans 6:23). Yet not everyone
accepts God’s love gift but chooses to stay leashed within the confines of
sin’s cage.
God loves you and invites you not only to call Him Father
but Abba (Daddy). You will experience unleashed love and freedom in Christ when
you join God’s family by calling out to Him for salvation.
