THE LOVE OF GOD FOR US : JESUS IS MIGHTY TO SAVE

THE LOVE OF GOD FOR US : Christ is Mighty to save

Here is a wonderful story to illustrate the Love of our Father for us.
There was this woman living outside Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, she was very poor and lived in such a poor place and her greatest fear was that she had such a beautiful daughter and she knew that when this daughter of hers grew up she would go to Rio de Janeiro to make a better life and she knew what would happen to her daughter if she went there.
One day the woman came home and the daughter was gone. there was a note that said: GONE TO RIO TO FIND A LIFE. Knowing what would happen, she took all the money she had and bought a bus ticket to Rio de Janeiro. Before she went, she went to a photo shop and spent some of the money to make pictures of herself, and when she reached Rio de Janeiro, she spent months there searching every hotel, every restaurant, every movie house, all the discotheques, everywhere, and every where she went she left a picture of herself.
Finally she ran out of money and went home.

One night her daughter was coming down the stairs of a hotel and she was with a man, she had become a prostitute, she looked like she had aged 15 years and she comes down the stairs she feels like she's going to die. She looks over in the mirror she sees how she's aged and suddenly something catches her eyes and she sees a picture of her mother, she grabs it, she cannot believe it and she turns it over and on the back she reads this: I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU HAVE BECOME AND I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, PLEASE COME HOME.

It sounds like the summary of what God says to us in the new testament:
I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU HAVE BECOME AND I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, PLEASE COME HOME. MY SON HAS PAID FOR IT ALL ON THE CROSS, NOW COME HOME.

Some of us who are young are going to ruin their lives, some of us adults bear scars, they seem like they will never be removed because of the sins in our lives, some of us the only thing we have seen about Christianity is a dead religion, but we serve a living God who has sent us a living Saviour and He calls all men to turn from their sins and come back to Him and those who come to Him He will not cast out, let us trust in Christ, He is such a Saviour, He is Mighty to save, let us not let anything come in between us and getting to know Him.

God is LOVE and He has provided a Saviour and if we do not come to Him the fall will be ours.
