“I’ll see you in church on Sunday if the windows are clean.”  That’s just one of the many insulting, ignorant, irreverent and incredulous (been wanting to use that word for a while 😉) things I used to say to Christians before I became one!  I poked fun at Christians because I thought they were weak-minded and emotionally unstable.  Even worse, I thought I had it all together – at least I told myself that lie to keep from changing my life and coming to Jesus.  It turned out that I was the one who was weak-minded and emotionally unstable.  I was other things besides that.  I was a living contradiction: conceited but very insecure at the same time. “I didn’t think much of myself but I am all I thought of.”  I also thought I was a good, giving person, but I was as selfish as can be.  The good news is that at the very depth of Mike there actually was a good person, but it was covered up with Mike and sin.  I thank God from the bottom of my heart for His providential love to help me come to my senses and turn my life over to Jesus.

In today’s song, Come to Jesus, there are lyrics referring to a sinner looking through a stained glass window, not out of insolent arrogance, but because he feels too unworthy to enter the church building.  Have you ever felt that way?  Hopefully you have, because we are all unworthy.  We all fall down – we all need saving.  The solution is NOT to try to become worthy on our own; rather, come to Jesus in faithful surrender and He will save us.

Thank the Lord personally today for saving a sinner…YOU.  I will do the same.  Then listen to Come to Jesus by Paul Alan.  Oh yeah, read Romans 3:21-28.
