Looking into Scout's eyes, filled
with excitement and anticipation of facing another adventurous day, I wondered
if he remembers the confines of his three-by-five pen where he once lived. And after
only three short days on a leash to grow accustomed to his new environment
outdoors, he could roam leash-free as he pleased. Does our little dog realize
the blessing of living free in a permanent home with a family who loves him?
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.
