“I sit here this morning thinking about the different times in the bible where the Lord came to the people..He meet them where they were in life..He didn’t wait for them to come to Him..but He chose to go to them..and as I say meet them where they were..Amen..because how many of you know that we don’t just go to the Lord..most of the time it gets really super bad before we ever decide to come to Him..but as well how many of you know that we don’t even know most of the time that we need Him in our lives..until He comes to us..Amen..again I think about Zacchaeus up in the tree and the Lord said to Him today I will come and eat with you in your house..Luke 19:1-10..Amen..or how He went out of His way for the woman at the well..John 4:1-42..Amen..or how He showed up in the fiery furnace with them young men to keep them safe and protect them..Daniel 3:8-25..Amen..again it truly amazes me at how He will leave the ninety nine and come for that one lost sheep..Matthew 18:12..Amen..and even in the mess ups of our lives how He takes us back..just as he did that prodigal son who wondered away..did so much..and yet the Lord welcomed Him home with open arms..killed the fatted calf..gave him a party..and a robe and a ring..and of course we all know that moment in the word where it said that his Father ran to meet him..and he gave him the biggest hug ever..Luke 15:20..Amen!”

“So maybe you are like one of them ones that were mentioned above..maybe your like the prodigal who has wandered away from the Father..either way I just came this morning to say this..that no matter what we’ve done..how far we’ve run..or drifted..God is there ready and willing to receive you back..always..He never leaves us alone in life..He is always pursuing us and willing to stop along the way just for us..to meet us and to give us what we need in life and when we need it..Amen..so just know that you are loved..and loved big from the Lord..He knows your name..Isaiah 43:1-7..Amen..He bottles up your tears..Psalm 56:8..He numbers the very hairs on your head..Luke 12:7..Amen..and there isn’t anything or no length of measure that He won’t go through to get to you..Amen..so know that in your life..know that you are the apple of His eyes..Zechariah 2:8..and that He holds you in His hands..and nothing can separate you from Him and His love towards you and for you..Amen..for I love the song that says this..and my God ran to me..He took me in His arms held my head to His chest and said my sons come home again..He ran to me..Amen..and what’s wonderful is the Lord is no respecter of persons..Romans 2:11-16..if He blesses one..He will indeed bless you as well..for He is good and all the times He our God our Lord and Savior is good..Praise His name..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
