Wielding kindness, mercy and forgiven love..

It's His kindness that brings all to repentance. His call, is for His purpose, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16. God's heart for the world has never changed. May His heart guide us, evermore. He wants none to perish. May we have eyes to see who He has sent to us, who is standing before us, ready to receive salvation.  May they see us, forgiven sinners, as kind, loving and without judgmental condemnation. May we offer every soul His unconditional love, our experience with the greatness of salvation and be made ready to invite them into salvation. How great, salvation! Do we realize this gift, by living forgiven? Mercy triumphs over judgment. James 2:13. May our security in Christ be inviting, exciting, go before us all and be seen, by all who see us.

"Behold, now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation.
We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; by purity by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown and yet well known, as dying, and behold we live, as chastened and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections." 2 Corinthians 6:2b-10

Father of hearts, open ours. Cause our hearts to reflect Your heart. Allow us to be living invitations to Christ. We thank You for the greatness of salvation and that it is still available to everyone. May Jesus be seen by all who see us. We ask this in the matchless name of Jesus, Amen.
