I like to be comfortable. I like to go to places I know, and I try and avoid places with conflict. It's no fun.
What always amazes me about the ministry of Jesus is that he didn't just go to the people who were near to God. He went to the people that were far off. He didn't mind to travel, even though it meant he had to walk all over the place. He was compelled to reach people far from God, who had no idea what God was up to or why God was in the neighborhood. Such is the love of God. The far off sheep is just as precious as the one near the shepherd. All are given access to God.
Prayer for Today: Lord, thank you for access to God through your amazing love. Remind me that I am never too far gone for your love, and open the eyes of my heart to see others in the world through this same lens.
