“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”
(1 Peter 2:9 ESV)
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
(Romans 8:28 ESV)
There is a song called, “Softly and Tenderly”. It’s about Jesus watching and calling for us to home. When it says to come home, it doesn’t mean He want us to die. It means He wants us to repent and turn to Him!
“Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling.
Softly and Tenderly by Will Lamartine Thompson
Calling for you and for me.
See on the portals He’s waiting and watching.
Watching for you and for me.
Come home, come home.
Ye who are weary come home.
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, ‘O sinner come home.'”
He is watching and waiting for us to turn to Him. Are you ready to repent and turn to Jesus? It’s not too late…yet. As long as you are breathing and have a pulse, it’s not too late.
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. Amen”
Jesus is waiting for you. Are you ready to give your life to Him and spend eternity in paradise? It beats the other place hands down. Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling. Will you answer His call today? I sure hope so.
Have a blessed day.
