I remember when I was growing up, we had a bumper sticker that said "God allows u-turns". I never really understood what it meant but I never really questioned it either. Now that I am grown with children of my own, I make it a point to let them know that there is NOTHING in this world that would make me stop loving them, that would make me disown them, or that would make me give up on them. Sure, I might have to punish them at times, scold them and maybe even show them tough love but isn't that what Jesus does for us? The best thing to know is that Jesus died for us, for our mistakes, for our sins. He has given us the platform to come to Him and say "Jesus, come into my heart, forgive me of my sins and make me new". Then He allows us and encourages us to change direction. That alone gets me excited. There is NOTHING that we can do that will make Him stop loving us. He is going to scold us when we are wrong and we will pay the consequences of our wrongs while we are here on this earth but what a sweet day it will be to spend eternity with Him in Heaven with a Father who loves us beyond what us humans can do. It is never too late to make a u-turn. There is no age limit and there is no such thing as 'too much sin to forgive'. He will forgive it ALL! 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. #GodAllowsUturns
From the manger to the cross... From the cross to the grave... From the grave to the sky... He is risen indeed! May God's fire burn in your hearts forever. May His wings cover and protect you, and your families. May His son, the greatest man in history, who had no servants, yet was called master, had no degree, yet was called teacher, had no medicines, yet was called healer, He had no army, but kings feared him, He won no military battles, yet conquered the world, He committed no crimes, yet they beat and hung him on a tree, He was buried in a tomb, rose in three days and lives today through people like you. Thank you for seeing our worth and not defining us by our past and for having the faith that we can all be changed for the Glory of God. Love in Christ, Bill & Michelle Ellis Happy Easter!
