He's Never Going to Let Go

Taken from Extreme Teen Bible

“All that the father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out” John 6:37

Some people think that they have to have their lives totally together before they turn to God. They think they need to make themselves worthy of Jesus' friendship. This is a lie that Satan tries to tell us. The problem is that nobody will ever be worthy of what God is offering him or her. That's a part of God's truth that's hard to comprehend. And if Satan can keep people believing that they have to somehow earn God's favor – if that's even possible – he can keep them from taking the first step toward God's kingdom.

But here's the truth. The truth is that God doesn't ask anyone to be worthy of Him. If you come to Him – without excuses, without trying to justify yourself, just putting your complete trust in Him – then Jesus promises not to turn you away. He accepts you because He loves you, not because you've earned His friendship. Isn't that amazing?

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28


Pray and reflect. Humble yourself before the Holy Lord.

Praise God for the gift he gave us, Jesus Christ.

Pray that the Spirit may instill in you a passion for God.


Friday: Pray for the Church (Big C)
Pray for God’s guidance and unity especially because there is a lot of friction between different denominations.
