JESUS ACCEPTS YOU
Bro. Samuel Paul Dhinakaran
Dearly beloved,
Jesus is a gentle God. He comes into our hearts through love and not through compulsion.
What should we do to accept Him?
Come to Him and ask for deliverance.
You may be having these thoughts in your mind: Am I worthy enough to receive Jesus? I have involved myself in many wrong things even though my parents had advised me that Jesus doesnt like them; I have only repeated them. Every time I do something wrong and ask God for forgiveness, He forgives my shortcoming; but I go back to my old ways again. I have been bound together with sin and the thought that I cant come back to Jesus bothers me. Will He accept a person like me? How do I approach Him with this weakness?"
But my friend, do you know with how much desire He is waiting to accept you? (Luke 15:20). He loves His children (John 3:16; Deuteronomy 33:3).
What is the requirement for us to accept Jesus in our hearts? When are you called a child of God?
Say with all sincerity, Jesus, please come into my heart. Today you might think, I am not a popular person; I am not the first in my studies; I am struggling to find a job; does Jesus really want to use me? I have nothing. Then why does He want me? God doesnt love you or choose you based on what you achieve in life. All that He ever expects from us is a heart that is willing to listen and accept.
If you have observed my life, you would have seen that I am not a great singer, dancer or a sculptor. I havent achieved anything great from my birth till now. God doesnt even expect such things from me to choose me as His child. Even though I was born in a Christian family which preaches about God, that didnt automatically qualify me or make me a superstar before God. I had to personally open my heart and accept Him, and that was what I did. All we have to say is, Jesus, please come into my heart and accept Him sincerely, and this is His expectation too.
"I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty" (2 Corinthians 6:18). Gods love can be compared to that of a fathers love. He doesnt see your flaws, He only sees you as His loving child whom He has made with His own hands. So come to Him and accept Him today. Your life will never be the same.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
You are a gentle God and full of love. I know that You love me even though I am an ordinary person. I accept You as my Savior. Please come into my heart, forgive my shortcomings and accept me as Your child. Bless me in all areas of my life.
In Your matchless name I pray,
Amen.
