God Is Looking for Someone Who Will Change

Week 2: Repentance

If you won’t change, God will find someone who will.
Matthew 18: 3, Luke 10

God loves people. John 3:16 declares it. The cross proves it. Daddy taught us to know God had gone to great lengths to transform us from sinners to saints but God would not force his way on anyone. It is our choice.

It is also our choice to cooperate with God after that transformation has begun. Luke 10 describes a scenario where someone needs help. A scribe and priest see the need but bypass it to stay on their own agenda. The Samaritan stops, helps, and adjusts his schedule to the need.

I had a book to write, Moving at the Speed of Grace. I was going so slow I might not have finished except this proverb and a book by Andy Stanley, The Principle of the Path, (that used the subtitle I had planned on using), kicked me back into gear. Today, do what you need to do. You don’t want God to choose someone else. By the way, what do you need to do today?

Grace and peace,
Norman Ramsey
