Invited

Good Morning!! Invitations are special,...it says that our company is desired. Just think, we have been asked to share in festivities celebrating an important event in the life of someone we care about. These gestures of inclusion, should not to be taken lightly.

Jesus said, "Come to me."—Matthew 11:28 (NRSV)

Have you ever noticed how many invitations are found through out God's Word? The message of the Bible,...in both the Old and the New Testaments, comes down to this: God the Almighty requests the pleasure of our company. In fact, each of us has a standing invitation to come where God is. The psalms invite us time after time, to come into God's presence with singing and thanksgiving. Jesus says, "Come!" The Spirit says, "Come!"

Today and every day, God requests the pleasure of our company.

How wonderful, Lord, that Your gracious invitation is addressed to each and every one of us. Amen.

"God has let us into His fellowship,...who are we to keep others out?"
